[Nfb-krafters-korner] U.S crochet terms, chain, s.c, double etc

[Cathy]

Hello Valerie,

Here you go.

>From about.com
There is a chart below for translating crochet patterns written in British English crochet terms
into American English crochet terms. For example, a double
crochet in British English is made the same way as a single crochet in American English (it is just
called by two different names). 

Some antique patterns published in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s use British
English crochet pattern terms also. In any pattern or
publication, there is usually a section giving a description of the way each stitch is made and you
can determine by that if the double crochet, for instance,
is a British English or an American English double crochet. Then you'll know if that entire
publication is written in British or in American English crochet
terms.
