Thanks for trying out the pattern. In response to your first question, they’re not post DCs, just straight DCs worked into the space between the posts of the stitches in the previous row.

For the second question: You work into every stitch rather than skip stitches. So you work a normal dc into the first stitch, an fpdc into the next stitch, a normal dc into the next stitch, an fpdc into the next stitch, and so on.

Hope this helps. Holler if you run into any other questions!

in other words- I’ll dc into the “v” at the top, then immediately fpdc into the stitch to the bottom left of the “v”, then I have to skip that “v” of the stitch I fpdc-ed on, to do the fpdc on the NEXT stitch…

so it’s like it’s dc in the “v”, fpdc, then SKIP a “v”, dc in the next “v”, fpdc, SKIP a “v”…
does that sound right???

i’m sorry i can’t articulate my question better!!! thanks again!

QUESTION: in the first section, instruction #2 says:
“*2dc in each space between hdcs. (24 stitches)”

I took “in each SPACE” to mean that I Front-Post-DCed the ENTIRE time…. is that what you meant?
The effect is very interesting… looks like ribbed concentric circles. But it doesn’t match the picture, and I don’t know if it suits the hat.

PLEASE CLARIFY what you mean when you say “in each space”.

thanks!!! great pattern! ~Sarabeth
