Hi Karen,

Here is how the directions read for rows 34-45:

Rows 34-45: Ch 3, turn, dc2tog, dc in each sp across to last 3 sps, dc2tog, dc in next sp – 9 sts.

-so for the last 3 stitches in the row, you should dc2tog in two stitches and then dc in the last stitch, not dc the last 3 stitches together.

I hope that helps! 🙂 Let me know if it doesn’t.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but for the handles, my rows are coming up wrong... for rows 34-45, in order for row 45 to have 9 stitches, you would have to decrease by 2 each row. but doing the ch 3, 2tog in end 3 spaces of each row, I'm decreasing by 3 each row, with leaves me with 9 stitches much sooner than row 45... / |\ | | | | | | | /| \ / |\ | | | | | | | | | | /| \ the only thing i can think is maybe the first dc2tog starts in the first space ? i'm counting the ch3 as the first stitch in first space...

Hi Myra! I’m sorry you’re having problems with the pattern. For this part of the pattern: “Rows 34-45: Ch 3, turn, dc2tog, dc in each sp across to last 3 sps, dc2tog, dc in next sp – 9 sts.” it is saying do this: “Ch 3, turn, dc2tog, dc in each sp across to last 3 sps, dc2tog, dc in next sp” for rows 34-45, and then you should have 9 stitches left at the end of row 45. In other words, you should have 9 sts left at the end of row 45 if you did all the dc2tog correctly in rows 34-45 – you don’t do an additional 9 sts at the end of row 45. I hope that helps! 🙂
