Ehhhh, wha?

Hey everybodies! So I lurked here on and off for a while, now I've actually decided to join (yay!). Okay, onto my first question...


So I've recently started dabbling with crochet with more than just single and double crochet. I've started crocheting in the round! Now, I normally am an avid knitter, so knitting in the round, anything related to knitting, piece o' cake,! Crocheting, not so much...

I have this book with adorable amigurumi in them, and I'm wanting to make a cute little octopus out of a skein of Lamb's Pride worsted I have lying around.

Here's my question, the directions sort of baffle me..

Baby
Head and Body

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in second chain from hook.
R2: 2 sc in each sc around. (12 sts)

Okay, so my understanding of abbreviations, this means chain two stitches, six single crochet in the second chain from hook.
Two single crochet in each single crochet around.

Ehhhh....I don't get it. Can someone translate for me?
