I am working on my first jacket pattern, my first clothing pattern actually and am stuck at the armhole. Here is what the pattern says:
Row 1 (ws) ch 3,1 dc in each for next 26 sts, 2 dc in next st, turn (got that fine!)
Cont on these 29 sts only for right front
Inc 1 st at armhole edge on next 2 rows
My question is also regarding the increase. When it says increase 1 st, work 2 dc in next stitch, chain 3, 1 dc in stitch below...what does 'in the stitch below' mean.. where does that last stitch go? In the same one that I put the 2dc?

What a darling pattern!
I'm guessing that the pattern should say, "work 2 dc in next stitch, chain 3, TURN, WORK 1 dc in stitch below." In other words, increase at the start of the next row by working a dc into the base of the turning chain.
I hope that works.
