After writing a few posts, I have realized I had been writing in UK terms but I hadn’t given a conversion for US term crochet-ers! So without further ado..
UK terms | US terms | Crochet Symbols | |
chain -ch | chain -ch | ||
slip stitch -sl st | slip stitch -sl st | ||
double crochet -dc | single crochet -sc | ||
treble crochet -tr or tc | double crochet -dc | ||
half treble crochet – htc | half double crochet – hdc | ||
double treble crochet -dtr | triple crochet -tr | ||
double crochet together – dctog | single crochet together -sctog | ||
front post treble crochet – fptc | front post double crochet – fpdc |
I plan to update this as and when I use different stitches, but the ones above should see you through most of the patterns I post =)
Happy crocheting!
Abigail
