You will need to figure out the number of multiples in the stitch to get things going - I would suggest reaching out to the designers at Bernat to see if they can provide any further information. Good luck! Julia, AFCAP editor

I think the directions for the dcfp should read '1 row below' and not '2 rows below'. This would sync in with the dcbp.
