Pattern I have says 3dtr, am I to assume I am to put three stitches on the hook instead of the 5 you did? Thank you. Good up close view.

@jandtsmom I know the point is probably moot this late in the game, but if it says 3dtr you are still going to chain 5, that is considered (or not- based on the pattern) Your first dtr. The three is for how many times you are gonna do the stitch.
