Okay glad to have this. I live in the UK but learned to crochet via US terminology online...the US terminology makes more sense to me as we don't technically have a single crochet. Now when I work a UK pattern I just think oh take it one down, I.e. a double is a single, a treble is a double etc.
So happy I ran across this video! I was trying to teach myself the Willow Square and it ended up so big because I was using US stitches instead of UK stitches! So it ended up huge and I sat there scratching my head! LOL! Thanks for the info. Back to the drawing board.
An even better tell would be the word color/colour. I'd wager that pretty much every crochet pattern is going to have that word in it somewhere and it has the same distinct quirk of spellings according to region.
But WHY is there a difference? It doesn't make sense. There's not a difference with knitting is there??? Have I been missing something for the last 45 years?
@@yourochelle But there doesn't have to be a difference. They all would have started from the same idea, didn't it? Anything in America would have come from Britain/Europe.
the easiest way to know the origin of the pattern would be if there are SCs in the pattern, since in UK terms we don't have 'single crochet' at all.

Thank you so much for this! I am new to crochet and the different terminologies did confuse me!
OMG desperately needed this tutorial! Lifesaver!
Thank you so much! I'm working with my first uk pattern and I was really confused 😅
Informative and charming. Many thanks.

This is a great idea . However Canada uses the colour spelling too, and about half (or more) of our patterns use the US terns.
Lol
Tfs I soooo want to learn how to crochet. I've tried and failed. I'm a lefty but do most things other than write as a right handed person.
many thanks for the info
HI! What's the name of the site about patterns? can't catch it, i'm foreign
thanks!
Anna Popovych it’s called ravelry.com
Thank you. This helped alot
Why are they driffent
This whole time I thought I was using UK terms... I've been Americanised for years without realising it
US and Japan have same terminology. So I learn US term. More easier i think.
Oh thanks... I don't know my doubles from my singles when the person is talking US stitches lol!

Crochet means hook UK count how many hooks make a stitch and US count the whole ‘single crochet’ as one.

it's really not a hack.
