HI
I love this patterns and i am making them for a friend to wear to an animae convention. i have a question about one of the lines in the pattern. The last line in the second lot of *'s, "Ch2, hdc 1, 2 hdc in third st, hdc accross..." it seams to me that you are missing soemthing to do in the 2nd stitch or am i reading it wrong? i would chain 2, put a hdc in the first stitch, then ther is nothing for the 2nd stitch and then 2hdc in the third. what happens to the 2nd stitch?
please let me know.

Thanks a lot! Quick, easy and lovely :-)
do you think it would bea easy to do this striped?, i'm making a halloween costume with this and red/black corset dress and a home made burlesque skirt
I would think so. Crochet is so much easier to change colors with than knitting, you can change colors every row or every other row for broader stripes. Simply pull the tails through the loops, reattach the next color, and then continue with the pattern and crochet over the tail as you go. I hope that wasn't too confusing for you. :)
