How to read a crochet pattern
HOW TO READ A Crochet PATTERN The first step in learning how to read a crochet pattern is to learn the terms and abbreviations. I have most of the terms, abbreviations and stitch instructions on my Crochet Basics Page.Once you familiarize yourself with these terms reading patterns will be much easier for you. The following are pattern excerpts that viewers have asked me about. I have explained each in simple English without all of the crochet abbreviations in hopes of teaching you how to read a crochet pattern. Review the abbreviations on the Basics page then choose a pattern and see how it goes. All crochet patterns begin with a foundation chain. Anytime a set of directions is enclosed in parentheses you do what the pattern says directly after it. The following page has symbols for crochet stitches. HOLDING YOUR PROJECT: You should hold your project however you feel comfortable and in a way that you can manage to complete the stitches correctly. HOW MANY CHAINS? in the same space.
