    Hello, I’m having trouble with row two of the crown. How do you work 2dctog ? How do you do a picot? I’m stuck!

      Hi Joyce 🙂

      2dctog – this is simply working 2 double crochet stitches together to form one stitch.
      Look at the photo above the instructions.

      Picot – You make a 3 CH, then slip stitch into the 3rd CH form the hook (in other words the first CH you made)

      i hope this helps 🙂
