My Stitchionary

---

There exist a vast amount of stitches and knowing them all might prove a little difficult. Especially when it comes to working instructions written in another language. So if you learned the English crocheting terms you might be familiar with the abbreviations such as 'ch' and 'slst'. But what does 'lm' and 'km' in a German instruction stand for? And what exactly was the difference between a puff stitch and a double crochet cluster again?
When you use this skill you will not have to dive into lengthy google searches for such terms anymore and hope for a decent video or explanation just to tell you how to crochet a, by all chances, already familiar stitch. My Stitchionary gives you just the right nudge to remind you of how to work that stitch again without even putting down your work.

In case you are still wondering: 'lm' and 'ch' both stand for a chain stitch and 'km' and 'slst' stand for a slip stitch. And a double crochet cluster is higher than a puff stitch since it starts with several incomplete double crochets and for a puff we only draw up several loops without pulling through them anymore as we would for incomplete double crochets!

Never be afraid of getting started with that super interesting pattern just because the language is unfamiliar to you or do not know all stitches by heart.
Just get started and keep going with My Stitchionary to watch your back!
