  5. I am working a pattern that uses hdc2tog. I have worked the row from left to right. Now I am ready to turn and work back. Do I do hdc2tog or regular hdc? The pattern doesn't say

    1. The first stitch. You insert in the first st for scs and hdcs, the second st for the rest of the stitches.

  7. Thanks for the help of this stitch. Used sc2tog before but not the hdc2tog. Thanks for the excellent explanation and the pictures. I needed this stitch in a knee high sock pattern that I'm following and I didn't know how to do this stitch, thanks so much!
