Free US to UK Crochet Terms Chart
Crochet patterns are written in US or UK terms, and the two use the same names for different stitches. This one page chart puts them side by side, both ways, so you can follow any pattern with confidence.
One page. Prints well in black and white.
On the sheet
- US to UK and UK to US tables, 14 terms each
- A stitch ladder that shows how the names line up
- Three quick ways to tell which terms a pattern uses
Why the names are different
The stitches are the same in both systems. Only the names change. Each UK stitch name is one step up from the US name for the same stitch, so a UK double crochet (dc) is a US single crochet (sc), and a UK treble (tr) is a US double crochet (dc).
Which terms does my pattern use?
- If you see single crochet (sc) or half double crochet (hdc), it is a US pattern. UK terms do not have those stitches.
- Canadian patterns use US terms. Australian patterns use UK terms.
- US patterns talk about gauge. UK patterns call it tension.
Counting rows? Stitch Scroll keeps your place.
Stitch Scroll reads the knitting or crochet pattern you own and turns it into rows you count with a tap. It checks the stitch counts row by row before you start, so a slip in the pattern shows up early. US and UK crochet terms are noted for you, and you can tap any stitch, like sc or inc, to see what it means.
Scanning your own pattern needs a free sign-in with Apple or Google when you first scan. The sample patterns, the Stitch Guide and these free charts work without an account.
