HOW TO READ A CROCHET PATTERN

Basic Stitch Abbreviations Ch Sl st Sc Hdc Dc Tr (or trc) Chain slip stitch single crochet half double crochet double crochet triple (or treble) crochet

Terms represent things you are to do, like these: Inc Dec Turn Join Rep increase (Add one or more stitches.) decrease (Eliminate one or more stitches.) Turn your work so you can work back for the next row. Join two stitches together; usually done by working a slip stitch in the top of the next stitch. repeat (Do it again.)

Getting Started
Con las siglas trminos a la mano, vamos a ver un patrn tpico. Un patrn puede ser trabajado en las filas (es decir, hacia atrs y adelante para formar una pieza plana, como un afgano) o en las rondas (trabaj en todo para formar un tubo sin costuras, como un sombrero). Cualquiera que sea forma en que el patrn es a trabajar, lo primero que debes hacer es hacer un nudo corredizo en su gancho. El patrn digo esto? No - slo se supone que lo sabes! Aqu es cmo hacer un nudo corredizo (Ver Figura 1 y 2). As que con el nudo corredizo de ahora su gancho, usted har una cadena de la fundacin de un perodo determinado, que el patrn Estado. El nmero de cadenas que usted necesita puede ser expuestos ante la primera fila, o en la primera fila, segn el escritor patrn. He aqu dos ejemplos:

Row 1: Ch 15; sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Or Ch 15. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.
Estas dos significan lo mismo: Hacer un nudo corredizo en el gancho (recordar que los patrones no te digo que hagas eso), luego hacer 15 puntos de sutura y de la cadena, asegrese de que sean flojos. Conde estas cadenas con mucho cuidado, y no contar el nudo corredizo como una puntada. El bucle en el gancho no se cuenta como un punto. (Ver Figura 3)

Ahora tiene 15 cadenas y el patrn le dice a "SC en la 2 ch de gancho y en cada ch todo ". Eso significa que usted mira a su cadena, contar con la primera cadena de distancia del gancho, que se vaya, entonces el trabajo de un punto bajo en la cadena de 2 de distancia del gancho. Por qu necesita para pasar la primera cadena? Bueno, tratar de trabajar un punto bajo en l y lo sabrs! Ahora la labor del punto bajo en el captulo 2 del gancho, y en cada uno de los reales restantes (abreviado) 13 cadenas. Ha completado la fila 1. Cuenta tus puntos de sutura con cuidado, pero no cuentan el bucle (lp abreviado) en el gancho, o el nudo corredizo, que ahora est al final de la fila. Usted debe tener 14 puntos de sutura punto bajo.

Now you have 15 chains and the pattern says to sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. That means that you look at your chain, count the first chain away from the hook, which you will skip, then work a single crochet in the 2nd chain away from the hook. Why do you need to skip the first chain? Well, try to work a single crochet in it and youll find out! Now work the single crochet in the 2nd ch from the hook, and in each of the remaining (abbreviated rem) 13 chains. You have now completed Row 1. Count your stitches carefully, but do not count the loop (abbreviated lp) on the hook, or the slip knot, which is now at the end of the row. You should have 14 single crochet stitches. Hint: Count the stitches at the end of every row. Most patterns tell you how many stitches you should have, and there are several ways of doing this. : 14 sc. (14 sc). 14 sc. These are all ways to show the number of stitches you should have. Dont confuse this with an instruction to do something. 3

Remember that first chain you skipped at the start of the row? When working in single crochet, you never work in that chain. It is gone forever! Now you have worked Row 1. Look at your pattern: at the end of the row it may say ch 1, turn. That means it is time to turn the work so you can make another row of stitches. You need to work the chain 1 to get your yarn high enough to begin the next row. Here is how to turn the work: (see Figure 4). We show turning the work to the right, but you can turn it to the left if you prefer. Just be sure to turn it the same way each time you turn.

Hint: Always leave the hook in your work as you turn. Now you are ready to start Row 2. But some patterns dont tell you to ch 1, turn, at the end of the row. They put that in the instructions for the next row, So the pattern could be written in two different ways: Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each rem ch; ch 1, turn. Row 2: Sc in each sc across. or Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each rem ch. Row 2: Ch 1, turn; sc in each sc across. It really doesnt matter whether you work the ch 1, turn, at the end of the first row, or at the beginning of the next row. Just do it the way the pattern tells you to. When working Row 3 and all following rows in single crochet, never count the turning ch-1 as a stitch. It just disappears, like the skipped stitch when you worked the foundation chain.

Working in Double Crochet

Skipped chains and turning chains dont disappear when working in double crochet or taller stitches. Now they count as a stitch. Lets do a first row in double crochet. The pattern says: Ch 17. Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and in chain across: 15 dc. So you will make a slip knot on the hook, then make 17 chain stitches. Now count 4 chains away from the hook, and work a double crochet into that chain, skipping the first 3 chains. Then work a double crochet in each of the remaining 13 chains. You now have 15 double crochet stitches. How can that be when you have only worked 14 double crochets? Remember those first 3 chains you skipped when you worked the first double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook? Those 3 skipped chains count as first double crochet of the row, and on following rows you will work into the top chain of those 3 chains just as though they were a regular dc stitch. At the end of this row, or the beginning of the next, the pattern will tell you how many chain stitches you need to raise the yarn to the height of the stitches for the next row. For single crochet, that was one ch, and that chain did not count as a stitch. But for double crochet, a taller stitch, you need to make 3 chains and then turn.And this time the 3 chains count as a stitch. So on the next row, you assume that the chain 3 4

counts as the first dc, and you will work into the next stitch, not the first stitch (See Figure 5 ).

Unless your pattern tells you otherwise, on all stitches taller than a single crochet, the turning chain is counted as the first stitch of the row.

Parentheses, Asterisks, and Brackets

Adems de usar un montn de siglas y trminos, los patrones de uso de varios smbolos de ganchillo que le diga qu hacer. Crochet patrones suelen tener una serie de pasos que se repiten varias veces en una fila. En lugar de escribir estos tiempo de espera tiempo despus, asteriscos (*) se utilizan para indicar las repeticiones. Un patrn puede leer as: Fila 3: Dc en los prximos 3 pts; ch * 1, salte siguiente, en c / dc siguiente; rep desde * a travs de la fila (o fin a). Esto significa que los pasos siguientes en el asterisco que se repetirn, en orden, hasta llegar al final de la fila. O el patrn podra decir: Fila 3: Dc en los prximos 3 pts; ch * 1, salte siguiente, * c / cd en el siguiente, rep desde * a * a travs de la fila (o repetir entre los * 's). Esto es slo otra manera de decir la misma cosa, y se trabaja los pasos dados entre los dos asteriscos, con el fin, a travs de la fila. Ahora para hacer las cosas ms complicadas - veces que se repetir veces varios pasos dentro de una fila, y luego terminan haciendo otra cosa! Esto puede significar que se encuentra dentro de la *. ** Este patrn podra ser: Fila 3: Dc en los prximos 3 pts; ch * 1, salte siguiente, en c / cd que viene, un trabajo ** shell en c siguiente; rep desde * a travs de la fila, terminando en ltima repeticin **. No tires tus manos con horror! Tome un paso a la vez. En primer lugar, pasar por alto que ** hasta que el patrn te manda a hacer algo con l. As que primero trabajar los siguientes pasos en el asterisco en la fila, y la ltima vez que se termina en la **, lo que significa que no funcionar el depsito de la ltima vez. Corchetes [] tambin se utilizan para decirle cuntas veces a trabajar un determinado paso. El nmero entre parntesis inmediatamente despus de la que cuenta cmo muchas veces para hacer el paso. Por ejemplo: Lnea 7: Dc en los prximos 4 cc, captulo 1, [SK cd que viene, cscara de] dc prximos 4 tiempos, cap 1, md en 4 cd. Eso significa que la labor de la SK [DC siguiente, cscara de] dc prximos 4 veces antes de ir a trabajar el 1 ch, dc en los prximos 4 cc. Los parntesis se utilizan a veces de la misma manera. Los parntesis se utilizan para indicar un grupo de puntos que se cruzan para formar una puntada, como por ejemplo: en el trabajo dc siguiente (2 de cd, captulo 3, 2 cc). Esto significa que funcionar todos los puntos de sutura en un cd, lo que hace un depsito.

In addition to using lots of abbreviations and terms, crochet patterns use several symbols to tell you what to do. Crochet patterns often have a series of steps that are repeated several times across a row. Rather than writing these out time after time, asterisks (*) are used to indicate the repeats. A pattern might read like this: Row 3: Dc in next 3 sts; *ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st; rep from * across row (or to end). That means that the steps following the asterisk are to be repeated, in order, until you reach the end of the row. Or the pattern might say: Row 3: Dc in next 3 sts; *ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st*, rep from * to * across row (or repeat between *s). That is just another way of saying the same thing, and you work the steps given between the two asterisks, in order, across the row. Now just to make things more complicated sometimes you will repeat steps several times within a row, and then end up doing something else! That can mean you will find ** within the *. Such a pattern might read: Row 3: Dc in next 3 sts; *ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st,** work a shell in next st; rep from * across row, ending last rep at **. 6

Dont throw up your hands in horror! Take it one step at a time. First, ignore that ** until the pattern tells you to do something with it. So you will first work the steps following the asterisk across the row, and the last time you will end at the **, meaning you will not work the shell the last time. Brackets [ ] also are used to tell you how many times to work a certain step. The number immediately following the brackets tells you how many times to do the step. For example: Row 7: Dc in next 4 dc, ch 1, [sk next dc, shell in next dc] 4 times, ch 1, dc in next 4 dc. That means you will work the [sk next dc, shell in next dc] 4 times before going on to work the ch 1, dc in next 4 dc. Parentheses are sometimes used in the same way. Parentheses are used to indicate a group of stitches that are to be worked together into a stitch, such as: in next dc work (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc). That means you will work all of those stitches in one dc, which makes a shell.

Working in the Round

Many crochet projects include working in rounds such as a granny square. Instructions may read: Ch 8, join with a slip stitch to form a ring. To do this, you will make a slip knot on the hook as usual, then make 8 chs, then insert the hook into the first chain made, hook the yarn and draw it through the first chain and through the loop on the hook (See Figure 6). Now you have a small circle or ring into which you will work stitches. To start, you will need to raise the yarn to the correct height with chains, just as you would to start a row. Figure 7 shows working a double crochet stitch into the ring. Your pattern will tell you what to work into the ring.

Front or Back Loop Most crochet stitches are worked under both loops of a stitch. Sometimes a pattern will tell you to work in the front loop only, or into the back loop only. The front loop is the loop closest to you, the back loop is the loop farthest away from you (See Figure 8).

Crochet Abbreviations Master List

Following is a list of crochet abbreviations used in patterns by yarn industry designers and publishers. The most commonly used abbreviations are highlighted. In addition, designers and publishers may use special abbreviations in a pattern, which you might not find on this list. Generally, a definition of special abbreviations is given at the beginning of a book or pattern. Abbreviation [] Description work instructions within brackets as many times as directed work instructions within parentheses as many times as directed repeat the instructions following the single asterisk as directed repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat from a given set of instructions inch(es) alternate approximately begin/beginning between back loop(s) bobble back post back post double crochet back post single crochet Abbreviation FPdc Description front post double crochet

Understanding Symbols In Crochet Patterns

A medida que trabaje a travs de un patrn, usted rpidamente se dar cuenta varios smbolos en las instrucciones. Estos smbolos se utilizan para aclarar el patrn para usted: corchetes [], () floritura parntesis, asterisco *. Corchetes [] se utilizan para provocar un grupo de instrucciones trabajado en varias ocasiones. Por ejemplo, "[3 cad, sc en el cap-3 sp] 7 veces" significa trabajar las instrucciones dentro de la] [siete veces. Corchetes [] tambin desencaden un grupo de puntos de sutura para su elaboracin en un punto, espacio o bucle. Por ejemplo, los corchetes [] en este conjunto de instrucciones ", Sk 3 sc, [3 cd, captulo 1, 3] cc en c / siguiente" indican que despus de saltar 3 sc, tendr que trabajar 3 cc, captulo 1 y 3 ms dc todo en el siguiente punto. De vez en cuando, un conjunto de instrucciones dentro de un conjunto de soportes necesita repetirse demasiado. En este caso, el texto dentro de los corchetes que se repita se encienden con los soportes de floritura (). Por ejemplo, "[Ch. 9, yo dos veces, gancho de insercin en la 7 ch de gancho y tire hacia arriba de un bucle, dc prxima SK, yo, gancho de insertar en el cd que viene y tire hacia arriba de un bucle, (yo y sacar a 2 lps en el gancho ) 5 veces, cap 3] 8 veces. " En este caso, en cada una de las ocho veces que la labor de la instrucciones que se incluyen entre parntesis, se trabajar la seccin entre parntesis floritura cinco veces. Un asterisco * tambin se utilizan cuando un grupo de instrucciones se repite. O bien se puede usar sola o con parntesis. Por ejemplo, "* Sc en cada uno de los prximos 5 sc, 2 sc en sc siguiente, rep desde * alrededor, unirse a un pr ruego en sc" simplemente significa que funcionar las instrucciones de la primera vuelta * toda la ronda. "* Sk 3 sc, [3 cd, captulo 1, 3] cc en c siguiente, rep desde * alrededor" es un ejemplo de trabajo con los soportes de asteriscos. En este conjunto de instrucciones, se le repita las instrucciones desde el asterisco todo, las instrucciones de trabajo dentro de los corchetes juntos.

As you work through a pattern, you'll quickly notice several symbols in the instructions. These symbols are used to clarify the pattern for you: Brackets [ ], curlicue brackets { }, asterisk *. Brackets [ ] are used to set off a group of instructions worked a number of times. For example, "[ch 3, sc in ch-3 sp] 7 times" means to work the instructions inside the [ ] seven times. Brackets [ ] also set off a group of stitches to be worked in one stitch, space or loop. For example, the brackets [ ] in this set of instructions, "Sk 3 sc, [3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc] in next st" indicate that after skipping 3 sc, you will work 3 dc, ch 1 and 3 more dc all in the next stitch.

13

Occasionally, a set of instructions inside a set of brackets needs to be repeated too. In this case, the text within the brackets to be repeated will be set off with curlicue brackets {}. For example, "[Ch 9, yo twice, insert hook in 7th ch from hook and pull up a loop, sk next dc, yo, insert hook in next dc and pull up a loop, {yo and draw through 2 lps on hook} 5 times, ch 3] 8 times." In this case, in each of the eight times you work the instructions included in brackets, you will work the section included in curlicue brackets five times. An asterisk * are also used when a group of instructions is repeated. They may either be used alone or with brackets. For example, "*Sc in each of the next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep from * around, join with a sl st in beg sc" simply means you will work the instructions from the first * around the entire round. "*Sk 3 sc, [3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc] in next st, rep from * around" is an example of asterisks working with brackets. In this set of instructions, you will repeat the instructions from the asterisk around, working the instructions inside the brackets together.
