    1. It's most likely a typo. Stay with the chain 5

  6. The dress I crocheted came out much larger looking than the pictures. The top is wider and the skirt is very wide. I probably should've used a smaller hook.

  7. I'm stuck working on the back. On Row 9 when I start crocheting the 19 sc, I have 14 sc remaining. Did I do something wrong?
