how to use this pattern and online course
Before picking up the crochet hook, I’d love to share with you what you’ll come across in this pattern and how to use this online course.
crochet terminology
This pattern is written in UK and US crochet terminology. If the stitch names are different, they are shown as UK terminology (US terminology).
The stitch abbreviations that are used in this pattern are summarised in the table below:
number of stitches in each row
Throughout this crochet pattern there are curvy brackets at the end of the row – this indicates the number of stitches in the row. For example, {45 sts} means that there are 45 stitches in the row.
Counting the number of stitches at the end of each row is a good way to check that there haven’t been any stitches gained or lost any stitches during the row.
turning chain
The turning chain is worked at the start of the row in this pattern.
