There seems to be some confusion over the special stitches. In the pattern on row 2 you refer the reader to the special stitches section for the abbreviations rtrf and rtrb. The special stitches only list rhtrf and rhtrb which is really confusing for a pattern that is stated as being perfect for beginners. As a novice at crochet I am confident to follow a pattern but I'm not at a level where I can work out whether the stitch should be a half treble or full treble. Can you please clarify this? Thank you
