What was that again?
We know how to crochet, I know exactly how to do a Double Crochet, a Single Crochet, and a Treble, but sometimes there is so much terminology floating around in my brain that when you abbreviate the terms, DC, SC, and TC. I have to take a second look and wonder what was that again? We all do it, at least I hope I'm not the only one, and it's fine! I wanted to put together a list of the most common abbreviations that I use in my patterns just for reference and it might just help if you're just starting to read patterns.
Also this is all in US terminology!
