Crochet hook
Scrissors
Stiches used:
Ch=chain
Sl st = slip stich
Sc= single crochet
Dc = double crochet
Sc rev = single crochet reversed
Aditional terms:
3dc cluster = dc3tog in same stitch
Puff St: [Yarn over, insert your hook into the st indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop] 3 times in total, yarn over and pull through all 7 loops on your hook.
Reverse Single Crochet Stitch : The actual mechanics of a reverse single crochet stitch are the same as for a regular single crochet — except in reverse. Instead of working from right to left, you work from left to right. It creates a somewhat twisted, rounded edge that’s good for making a simple finished edge for your work.
sk = skip
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sp/sps = space/spaces
Repeat: rep
Chain space: ch-sp
This pattern is in US terms.
