Help with a pattern

Yes, it does seem to make a difference. Crocheting in the back loop only is what produces the ridges on the front that can be seen in the close up.



That's a drop stitch, worked in the front loop only. I knew it had a name, I finally stumbled across it. This video is for working in both loops but you can easily work it front loop only I bet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hhZ5f-NRXY

I love that pattern, if I ever do a real crochet project again that may be it.

Thank you. I'm going to try this and see if it works. I'll redo the first 3 sc rows by using only the back loops.

Ok I got the drop stitch mastered somewhat and ran into another problem I think. In the pattern it says:
SC, *DC, (sc, dc) 9 times, 19 sc, repeat from * 5 (other afghans 3) more times, (dc sc) 10 times.

If my little brain is reading this correctly I should sc, then dc, then sc 9x for a total of 18 dc's separated by a sc between each one????? do this 5 times. What the heck is the 10 times thing? this afghan is not THAT big.



The parts in parentheses are for the other sizes that can be made with this pattern according to the notes.
