Understanding american and English crochet terms!
When I first started learning to crochet I was keen to pop to the nearest bookshop to purchase as many books as I could find!
I then rushed home and started crocheting but with no success, I knew I was holding the yarn correctly, so the tension was correct (thanks to many videos watched on YouTube). It turns out there are different terms for stitches in american and English, I seem to crochet better using american terms, so here is some info about it!
American stitches. English stitches
Single crochet. = Double crochet
Place hook through stitch, yarn over, pull through loop on hook.
Double crochet. = Treble crochet
Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull yarn over again, pull through two loops, yarn over again and pull through remaining loops on hook.
Treble crochet. = Double treble crochet
Yarn over twice, insert into stitch, yarn over, draw through two loops, yarn over draw through two loops again, yarn over, draw through the final loops on hook.
