2. *2 hdc in next dc*; Repeat * to * 12 times, join with sl st to first st. => 24 st
3. *blsc in next hdc*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st. => 24 st
4. *2 hdc in next sc, hdc in next sc*; Repeat * to * 12 times, join with sl st to first st. => 36 st

15. sc in next sc, 8 ch, sk 2 sc, sl st in next sc, (sc in next sc) all around, 10 sc in lp, sl st in first sc. Cut thread, weave in ends.
N.B.
- Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
- When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
- Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
