I just recently (barely) learned how to do crochet, and I’m trying to make an amigurumi bird with this pattern-

to practice. My problem is, I don’t know what the pattern is trying to say. I don’t mean abbreviations, I mean like how after it says chain two, am I supposed to go back into the first stitch in the chain and do 6 single crochet in that one, or do I use both the first and second stitches to do the single crochet? I just keep confusing myself… If someone could explain it to me in idiot’s terms (LOL) that would be helpful. Thanks!

it says to work 6 in the first chain and then you place a marker to remember that is your beginning
and why the first one and not the second which is right beside the hook? because you are working with that point and u cant work with one right by it or you’ll be taking your slip stitch out.
