There are so many wonderful crochet patterns available for beginners – but if you are truly a newbie – you might be wondering what the patterns actually mean …

Annie’s Attic has a great run down on standard abbreviations and how to go about translating a crochet pattern here : Crochet ‘n’ more has a good page on reading crochet patterns : I love nexStitch’s visual instructions on what the instructions say but also what they look like. : crochet spot has a good page on reading and translating crochet patterns and abbreviations : and here is some basics on how to read crochet charts : if you are not such a new crocheter and want to have a go at some Japanese crochet patterns – here is how to interpret those charts and instructions : and here are some UK v’s US crochet abbreviation differences.
