I am crocheting a baby sweater, after having not crocheted for abut 20
years. I am currently starting on a yoke to join the body with the
arms and the directions say:
"join A on starting chain in base of first half shell, work 2 sc in
half shell, 1sc in base of next sc [3sc in base of next shell, 1 sc in
next sc]. "

I got the yarn joined, do they mean 2 SC in each dc of the half shell?
then the 3sc in base of next shell, what does that mean - won't it make
a ridge? The picture is not a close up and I can't find anyting in my
books or on the web that explains the procedure. The book I am using
is a Columbia-Minerva daffy down dilly pattern number 778-3 from many
years ago and if anyone can help me out here with a clear explanation,
I would be thrilled!

Hi Terri, welcome to the group!

I would think that it would be best to space out the sc as evenly as
possible. At the start of the row, put 2sc in the half shell, then I would
put one sc in each side of each shell and one in the middle, not forgetting
the sc in the sc. This gives 4sc for each pattern repeat.
