Crochet pattern deciphering help needed

ElloPoppet

This is what my pattern says:

Chain 56 loosely (64, 72, 80) Join in a loop with a slip stitch, being sure not to twist the chain

Row 1 CH 2 (count as first DC) DC in each SC around , join with a SLST in the top of the CH 2

Row 2-3 SLST around CH 2 of row 1, CH 2, *BPDC around next st, FPDC around next st* repeat around and join with a SLST in the top of the Ch 2. (Bind off if you plan on using a different color for the body of the soaker, otherwise continue on to Row 4.)

Am I supposed to do 2 more rows of DC on top of the first & then do the binding? Or am I supposed to get 2 rows by slip-stitching in every hole? I fail

I'm no help at all. That's exactly why I make flat things or fudge my own patterns by feel. Sorry

Yeah....I like scarves....a lot....

This is the first round thing I've ever attempted.

For row 2:

Slip stitch around the chain 2 that started row 1. Then chain 2, and do repeats of back-post double crochet and front-post double crochet, back and forth throughout the whole row.

For row 3:

Slip stich around the chain 2 of row 2, then chain 2, then do the BPDC and FPDC repeats around, to basically make a ribbing.

Are you doing the Little Fire pattern?  I just posted my longies in my stash post below. 

Dr. Loretta's right.

Yep, that's what I'm attempting. I still don't get the "around" part...I did my row of DC and then did the slip stitch through the top hole of the ch2...so I don't know what hole is next for another one.

once you slip stitch, chain one, and turn  so that you are crocheting in the opposite direction.  You slip stitch to join so that you end up with a circle instead of a flat
