Ever wonder what all those abbreviations mean when you are looking at a pattern? I have compiled a list to help you out.
Let's start with the basic crochet stitches: Chain - ch Chain Space - ch-sp Single Crochet - sc Half Double Crochet - hdc Double Crochet - dc Treble Crochet - tr Double Treble - dtr Yarn Over - yo And now for the post stitches: Front Post Single Crochet - FPsc Back Post Single Crochet - BPsc Front Post Half Double Crochet - FPhdc Back Post Half Double Crochet - BPhdc Front Post Double Crochet - FPdc Back Post Double Crochet - BPdc Front Post Treble (triple) Crochet - FPtr Back Post Treble (triple) Crochet - BPtr Beginning your project - I always recommend that your read the pattern completely before you begin. This insures that you won't find any suprises half-way through your project. Many projects are done with more than one color, here are some standard abbreviations for beginning and color changing. Main Color - MC Color A - CA Color B - CB Contrasting Color - CC Approximately - approx Begin/beginning - beg Between - bet Continue - cont Special starting techniques ~ the Magic Ring or Finger Wrap. You can find a tutorial <here> I would like to thank Sedie of Yarn Obession for allowing me to link her tutorial.
This list is not complete yet! As I up-date it, I will re-post. Check back soon to see what is new with Home made hats by Cheryl!
