Hello everyone!
While exploring the enormous amount of patterns in the gigantic world of the internet, I kept mixing up the UK and US terms with the Dutch ones… Every time I want to crochet one of your beautiful creations, I needed to check and double-check (thanks Google for that…)
So I said to myself and the cat, because she’s always nearby, I said: Listen girl, now you’re going to make some kind of sheet on which you can see in a blink of an eye if it’s yo once or twice.
I twiddled and fiddled with a spreadsheet and there it was, UK terms sisterly beside US and Dutch terms. Maybe these are even useful for the English speaking lovelies who visit my blog and want to translate a Dutch pattern. Maybe, who knows…
Love, Zjizjipke!
Hello, I found a Dutch crochet pattern and was wondering if you could tell me what the Dutch crochet term "hs" stands for in English crochet terms. For example row 3 of this pattern looks like this "1 hs + 5 v (7v)". Please help! I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenhs = half stokje (hst) = htr (UK) = hdc (US)
VerwijderenHope this helped?
They used a different abbreviation: 'hs' instead of 'hst' in my spreadsheet.
Good luck with the horns!
Here is a link to the pattern. http://amigu.punt.nl/content/2010/02/amigu-moeflon
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am only trying to make the horns (hoorns). Thanks again!
Oh thank you so so much!! I had a feeling that would be the case but I wanted to be extra sure. You are the best :)

VerwijderenOk one more question.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCan you explain this (2v in elke v) x1 +4v (6v)
This is 2 single crochet in each single crochet right? But what does the x1 mean and how do I end up with only 6 single crochet at the end ... I feel like such a newbie. Thanks in advance.
You have to do 2 sc in the first sc (thats the x1 part) and then 1 sc in each sc, so you end up with 6 sc after that round.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI do want to see the endresult ofcourse! Maybe email me a picture? I'm curious now :-)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for the spreadsheet. It is really helpful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for your spreadsheet! It really helped with the abbreviations. I still have questions about a pattern I found - http://www.dol-op-wol.nl/patronen/vogeltjes%20aan%20een%20tak.pdf
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere are references to "hook fast" or "fasting hooks" and "stabbing". Is fasting hooks like chain stitches? I have no clue what stabbing would mean for crochet.
