Some help please

I took this picture back in 2017. I had permission from the woman who owns the shawl and unfortunately when I asked for a pattern she said it was a gift. I have searched FOR YEARS for this pattern. It’s not your typical granny square or willow granny square. And I have no experience with making items without a pattern of some sort. If anyone knows who made this or what the pattern is I would greatly appreciate the help. Please and thank you!

Does the idea of reading a crochet pattern make you want to scream?

There are standard abbreviations for every crochet stitch. Here’s some basics.

Ch- chain

Sc- single crochet

Dc- double crochet

Hdc- half double crochet

Inc- increase

Dec- decrease

MR- magic ring

There’s also standard symbols

Stitches are separated by a comma,

What is in (), **, or [] will be repeated

X6 (or any other number) is how many times you will do the repeat

The number at the end of the row is how many stitches you end up with

So here’s an example-

Working in continuous rounds

Round 1- 6 sc in MR -6

Round 2- (inc)x6 -12

Round 3- (sc, inc)x6 -18

Round 4- (2sc, inc)x6 -24

Continuous rounds tells us we will be working in the round and will not be joining between rounds.

Round 1- For this you start with 6 single crochets in a magic ring

Round 2- you increase (2 single crochets) in each stitch. Total 12 stitches.

Round 3- you repeat (single crochet, increase) six times. Total 18 stitches.

Round 4- you repeat (single crochet, single crochet, increase) six times. Total 24 stitches.

Now let’s look at an example with rows

Row 1- ch 13, turn, ch1. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, 12sc. Ch 1, turn. -12

Row 2- 12sc across -12

Row 3- dec, 8sc, dec -10

Row 4- 4sc, dec, 4sc -9

Row 5- (sc, dec)x3 -6

For this you start by chaining 13. You single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each of the remaining chains. Chain 1, and turn your piece. You have 12 working stitches.

Row 2- you are going to single crochet in each stitch across. Chain 1, turn. You have 12 working stitches.

Row 3- decrease in the first two stitches, single crochet in 8 stitches, decrease in the last 2 stitches. You have 10 working stitches.

Row 4- single crochet in 4 stitches, decrease, single crochet in 4 stitches. You have 9 working stitches

Row 5- this has a repeating pattern. Single crochet in the first stitch, then decrease. You are going to repeat these two stitches a total of 3 times. You now have 6 working stitches.

It may be helpful to print the pattern and rewrite each row/round with the full stitch names. You can write out each repeat and cross out as you do it.

And remember, the pictures you see online? There’s a ton of practice behind them. Don’t expect perfection from the start. Don’t be afraid to start over and try again.

You’ve got this!

Reaching out because what is this pattern:

Hope that makes sense

Any crotchers wanna weigh in? The pattern says 1 sc, 2 inc

2 increase, right? Does that mean to do 4 stitches into one stitch or just 2 inches next to each other (so in 2 separate stitches)

I am stuck on round 4

Crocheters of Tumblr, I need someone to explain with easy words, pictures or video (or a mix of all three) what in the merry fuck this means...

I'm tryna make socks here. Also, the person that made this pattern explained it pretty poorly that I was supposed to switch from flat crocheting into rounds, so now I have to frog SO much and I honestly feel like screaming 😭😭 I literally only found out through the COMMENTS on her wordpress site bc other people were also confused. And I mean, I understand that I have to crochet into the stitches underneath the slip stitches, but WHY TF ARE THERE SO MANY?? (ykw, it might be I'm still in flat rn and I have to frog all this shit to make it round AGAIN WHY DID SHE NOT MAKE THIS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND!??)

Side note: if anyone points out that it literally says "rnd", I'll tell you now that it's said "rnd" from the very start even when it was in rows. She wrote it wrong and I got thrown off.

Edit: If anyone wants to read the pattern to see what I mean, it's here -> https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/top-down-socks-crochet-pattern-by-cobblers-cabin
