Crochet Abbreviations

Anyone who knows me know I keep everything! And the same goes with bookmarks on an internet browser. I save it for later and never get around to looking at it! So now as I try to clean up my browser I found 3 (yes three) different posts about Crochet Abbreviations that I saved a long time ago. Hopefully, this helps anyone struggling with the terms and reading patterns and it will help in my clean up process!

I am going to start with the blog I read at Mooglyblog.com and then add to the list as I go.
