what does punto raso mean? answer: looks like that term is actually an embroidery term for "brick stitch shading". Here's an example of it --

what does para o corpinho em cinza faca 6 corr e feche com mean?
response: It seems to be Portuguese. I think it means something about for the part of the pattern that is "a little body in grey", you are supposed to cut and close to 6 chains.

What does punto enano clavado por detrás y 2 v. más abajo y 1 punto de cadeneta para subir a la v. correspondiente mean? I am new to crochet so my friend is helping me. I get the separate terms but don't know exactly how to tell my friend.
thanks!!
answer: I think it means "firmly slip stitch from behind and 2 v. below and 1 chain stitch to climb the corresponding v." I don't know what "v." stands for, but will post when I find out! Hope this helps.

Thank you! I too don't know what the v. stands for except possibly vuelta which I think would stand for round in crochet terms, as it can mean "turn" in Spanish. answer: oh, that makes sense, great to know, thank you!
