· In this pattern, the ch2 at the beginning of the round DOES NOT count as the first stitch. You may find crochet instructions on the internet. I only provide the stitch abbreviations for you, plus a special stitch instruction for the bpsc.
Abbreviations:
Chain (ch), Slip Stitch (sl st), Single Crochet (sc), Half Double Crochet (hdc), stitch (st), stitches (sts), and Back Post Single Crochet (bpsc).
Special Stitch Instructions: Back Post Single Crochet (bpsc)
A bpsc is basically the same thing as a bpdc, you just do a single instead of a double. Insert hook from back to front to back around post of corresponding stitch below, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over and draw through two loops on hook.
