1 ch isn`t a subsititude for a Dc , hence she might be right that
they meant 1ch.1dc over each dc
if you want to start a dc by raising , you need 3 ch ,,,,,

Maybe it's a British dc, which is an American sc. One chain would be
sufficient in that case. I use 2 dc, not 3, for an American dc, but
it depends on how the person works.
Usually when a stitch pattern repeats they put the repeat in
parentheses. I would have expected, "(1ch,1dc) in each dc " if these
two stitches were to be worked in every stitch of the row below. Also,
I would have expected that you wouldn't work it into every stitch of
the row below, but into every second stitch.
However, maybe you're right. The result would not only be lacey, it
would be rippled and much wider on the second row, because you're
doubling the number of stitches. I don't think I've ever seen anything
increase so much already on the second row of the work. I hope
zenawarrior will tell us what it's supposed to be in the end, because
that will help. Also, whether the pattern is British or American.
