Chunky Stars Crochet Pattern

how to read this crochet pattern

crochet terminology

Before you pick up your chunky crochet hook, I’d love to share with you the basics of reading crochet patterns, and what you’ll come across in this pattern. I’ve written this crochet pattern so it is easy for you to follow. You’ll find a lot of the elements here (like the terminology and abbreviations) in every good crochet pattern you come across.

Reading crochet patterns is just like eating an elephant – when you take it one bite (or step) at a time, it’s easy to do. The basic elements of crochet patterns are the stitches, and the easiest way to work through a crochet pattern is to go one stitch at a time.

Each type of stitch has a name, and crochet patterns are written in one of two stitch terminologies – UK or US.

This pattern is written in UK and US crochet terminology. If the stitch names are different, they are shown as UK terminology (US terminology).

The stitch abbreviations that are used in this pattern are summarised in the table below:
