This document discusses crochet terms, abbreviations, and patterns. It provides examples of common symbols used in patterns such as parentheses, brackets, and braces to indicate repetitions. It also defines some abbreviations like sc, hdc, dc. The document emphasizes that understanding abbreviations and how to read patterns is important for correctly following crochet procedures. It includes examples of pattern rows that demonstrate how to increase and decrease stitches using abbreviations. Finally, it discusses benefits of familiarity with crochet abbreviations and patterns.

How to Read Crochet Patterns
Crochet patterns use these symbols or
special characters to represent
repetitions, clarifications, or any other
special directions, so it is important to
understand what each one represents.

16. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Parenthesis are used to indicate
repetitiveness in an action or a stitch,
meaning that if you come across one, you
should repeat it in succession in the stated
number of times ( the number directly
following it). Alternatively, a pattern could
use them to signify a group of directions
that are all worked in one specific stitch.

17. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Square brackets also indicate
repetition in stitch pattern, often
working in correspondence with
parentheses. Alternatively, they
can be used to clarify
information.

18. HANDICRAFT MAKING

19. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Braces are again used as an
indication to repeat
instructions often ones
worked within another set
of bracketed directions.

20. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Asterisks, bullet points,
diamonds and other
special characters are
usually there to instruct
you to repeat a series of
crochet stitches.

21. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Example 1: Row 1 : with size H hook, ch a5 ,
sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across,
turn. (14 sc) Stitch the first with a size h
crochet hook, making 15 chain stitches
(foundation chain). Make a single crochet in
the second chain stitch from the hook, as
well as each chain stitch across, then turn the
piece. (There are 14 single crochet stitches in
the first row.)

22. HANDICRAFT MAKING
Example 2: Row 2 : ch 1, 2 sc in first sc, sc in each
rem sc across to last sc, 2 sc in last sc, turn. (16 sc)
Start the second row with a chain stitch , then
make two single crochets in the previous row’s
first single crochet stitch. Make a single crochet
stitch in every remaining single crochet on the
first row until you reach the last one. In the last
single crochet on that row, make two single
crochets, then turn the piece. (There are 16 single
crochet stitches in the first row.)

Group Activity
Each group will be given a set of terms or
abbreviations, and you will discuss them in
creative ways. When you’re done with the
task, you will perform a jingle as a signal.
