       Hi Maria! The Fcdtr is explained in special stitches section. To do it you’ll skip 4 dc, dtr in next dc, ch 3, dtr in first skipped dc.

   Did I miss something? Ahh, I’ve never seen a “st” that combines 2 different rows like (what I read anyway:) the “dtr”. So that’s 1row dc, next row sc = 1dtr? This I got after reading the “gauge” swatch. Harrumph.
