U.S. & U.K. Crochet Terminology Cheat Sheet
Below is a table of crochet terms in both U.S. terminology & U.K. terminology. The main way to tell if a pattern is an American pattern or not, is if the pattern says single crochet (sc). The British and European systems do not use sc as an abbreviation.
| U.S. Abbreviation | U.K. Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| single crochet (sc) | double crochet (dc) |
| half-double crochet (hdc) | half-treble crochet (htr) |
| double crochet (dc) | treble crochet (tr) |
| treble crochet (tr) | double treble crochet (dtr) |
| double treble (dtr) | triple treble (tr tr) |
| triple treble (tr tr) | quadruple treble (qtr) |
