How to crochet A.2 and A.3 in DROPS 162-19

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet chart A.2 and A.3, a cute edge on the Elly May shorts in DROPS 162-19. The pink thread shows the beginning of each round and the purple thread shows the distinction between A.2 and A.3. We crochet A.2 once and A.3 twice.

These shorts are made in DROPS Safran, but in the video we crochet with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.

I noticed a couple of things that seem to be missing in the video. In A2 Round 2 I believe there is a dc missing. In A3 Round 3 she misses the ch 1 between the triples because it is printed so that it looks like a part of the third round. Also, the video is not linked through the pattern. I could only get to it from Facebook. Hope this helps! Love your patterns and videos!
