déplacer

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Crochet pattern
This is part of the instructions for crocheting a shell motif which will repeat and eventually become a hat.le of the section.

"Sauter 1 maille et crocheter une maille serrée dans la suivante (3ème maille du rang précédent). Sauter à nouveau 1 maille. Répéter à partir de *.
A chaque rond suivant, déplacer les coquillages et les mailles et serrées. "

I have no idea what this could mean so am unable to start the question off with my own suggestion.

Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jun 24, 2015:
Move I agree with Ghyslaine's suggestion of "move" or even "move along".

("On each of the following rounds, move the shells and stiches along then tighten").

Note the grammar mistake in your original Lara : It should read "serrER" in the infinitive.
Ghyslaine LE NAGARD Jun 24, 2015:
"Déplacer" here seem to mean "move" as in to move the shell design and the tight stitches to have them spread rather than in straight lines; but then again since I do not crochet it might mean something else.

stagger

When crocheting the shell stitch, the shells can be stacked on top of each other in each row or round, or they can be staggered. The pattern here is calling for the latter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_stitch
A shell stitch (or fan stitch) is a crochet motif often used as a border around other patterns or in ***staggered rows*** to create a distinctive fabric pattern.

You will work your shell stitch into each chain 1 space around so that the shell stitches are stacked on top of one another, NOT into the space between the shell stitches (which would result in ***staggered shell stitches***).
