## Abbreviations used

| In the pattern | US abbreviation | Stitch name (US) | UK abbreviation | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| sc | sc | Single crochet | dc |  |
| inc | inc | Increase | inc | 2 sts in 1 st |
| dec | dec | Decrease | dec2tog | 2 sts worked together |
| bobble2 | bo-2dc | Tiny bobble (2 dc) | bo-2tr | tiny bobble stitch, 2 dc worked into the same stitch |
| fasten off | FO | Fasten off | FO | cut & fasten off |

The UK column is the abbreviation a UK-notation reader would use for the SAME stitch. Where it differs from the US one, following the pattern with UK meanings produces the wrong stitch height.

## How the notation reads

- `sc around` — one sc into every stitch of the round below, as many as that round has — also written sc in each st around, and sc across on a row
