you are saying..3 single crochet in the chain..how do you make 3 single crochet in one chain?..this is the part that is confusing

Answer 1

This is called increasing. When you do your sc to create the peak all you have to do is sc in the chain, go back into the same chain and sc again. Then go into that same chain and sc one more time. You now have 3 sc in the same chain. I hope this helps. I know it can be a bit confusing.
