I am confused at two points:
Row 10 – Do you mean by “fpdc” to double crochet in the front LOOP? Otherwise, I don’t know what “post” ther would be, as the previous row is all single crochet, and
Row 12 – What do you mean by “fpdc in previous fpdc from row 10”?
Thank you,
Valerie
In row 10 you fpdc in the dc from row 9. For row 12 you are fpdc around the post you made in row 10. This keeps the fpdc’s together to form the textured part of the headband. Hope this helps!
