I cannot see how to do row 6 – FPDC in the slipped stitches -help! I’ve watched the video several times…
You need to fpdc in the SKIPPED stitches, you can’t do post sts in slipped stitches. Is that the problem or was that a typo? If it was a typo then I don’t know what the problem is, you skip 2 sts, then fpdc around the next 2 sts, then you hold the 2 sts you just made behind your hook (so the hook is between the sts and you) and fpdc in the 2 sts you skipped.
So, if you were to number those 4 sts they would be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and you would stitch into them in the following order: 3, 4, 1, 2.
