CROCHET INSTRUCTIONS for BEGINNERS and EXPERIENCED

A lot of beginners in crocheting have difficulty in learning abbreviated instructions in crocheting.  I have a list of abbreviations for those who would like to learn and start to crochet as their hobby.  I learned how to crochet when I was in Grade School (Home Economics)

 at 11 years of age..  My entire family are crocheters, we learned from each other.  We crocheted our curtains, drapes, doilies, table runners, coasters, and many more, even laces for my mother's camisole were crocheted...:-) I wish this will help you all to learn all the abbreviations of crocheting. 

Crochet techniques are the same universally, and everyone uses the same terms.  However, US patterns and UK patterns are different because the terms denote different stitches.  Here is a conversion chart to explain the differences.

US                                                                                                   UK
