What is this crochet pattern asking me to do?

6 single crochet farthest from the needle (6 stitches) Then 2 single crochet increases in each stitch, repeat that 6 times. You will have 12 stitches then. Do that again (2 single stitch increase plus one single crochet and you will have 18 stitches. 2 ssingle crochet increase, plue 2 single crochet. Repeat that and you will have 24 stitches. Hope that helps.
