## Abbreviations used

| In the pattern | US abbreviation | Stitch name (US) | UK abbreviation | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| sl | sl st | Slip stitch | ss |  |
| sc | sc | Single crochet | dc |  |
| hdc | hdc | Half double crochet | htr |  |
| dc | dc | Double crochet | tr |  |
| tr | tr | Treble crochet | dtr |  |
| inc | inc | Increase | inc | 2 sts in 1 st |
| sk | sk | Skip | miss | skip a base stitch |
| join | sl st | Join | ss | slip-st close a round |
| 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, inc) x6` — repeat what is in the brackets 6 times — also written 6x (sc, inc)
- `3 hdc in one st` — all three stitches go into the SAME base stitch
