Navigating the World of Crochet: Understanding US and UK Terminology

Handy Resources - Crochet Conversion Chart

Published May 2024

When I was first taught crochet by my mother, unbeknownst to me at the time, I was learning using UK terminology. It wasn’t until years later, when I tried to read a crochet pattern written in US terms, that I even realised English crochet patterns have different names for the same stitch, depending on what regional terminology is used.

 

The primary difference lies in the terminology used in the US versus the UK, and understanding the differences is crucial for successfully following a pattern. For example, what is known as a single crochet (sc) in the US is called a double crochet (dc) in the UK. This can be very confusing for crocheters who may not realise that different terms exist in the first place.

 

To help fellow crocheters avoid confusion and frustration, a Crochet Conversion Chart is an invaluable tool. Below is a chart listing the differences in terms as a reference guide which you may find useful:

Happy crocheting!
