The number after the abbreviation means how many times the stitch should be done (for instance
sc 4 = sc, sc, sc, sc). The lack of the number means that the stitch should be done once.

Sequences in brackets should be done as many times as the number after the asterisk says - for instance
(inc, sc 2)*4 = inc, sc2, inc, sc2, inc, sc2, inc, sc2.

the chart, please
remember that the

better. Print this page
before you start
crocheting.
