What are the equivalents between US crochet stitch terms and UK terms?
Fortunately, if you are familiar with reading charted patterns, the icons are the same, so the only issue is if you don't know how to read charts or if you prefer to read written out patterns.
A couple of the terms are the same - &quot;chain stitch&quot; and &quot;slip stitch&quot;. Most of the rest can be somewhat easy to remember if you can remind yourself that the UK has no &quot;single crochet&quot;, so most of the numbers are incremented up one in the UK version:
US Term ----------------------- UK Term
chain ----------------------- chain
slip stitch ----------------- slip stitch
single crochet -------------- double crochet
half double crochet --------- half treble crochet
double crochet -------------- treble crochet
treble crochet -------------- double treble crochet
double treble crochet ------- triple treble crochet
front post double crochet --- raised front treble crochet
back post double crochet ---- raised back treble crochet
fasten off/bind off --------- cast off
skip ------------------------ miss
gauge ----------------------- tension
yarn over ------------------- yarn over hook
