Crochet abbreviations can be very hard to memorize at first, let alone all of them. That's why I did the leg work of working up with chart of all the abbreviations I know. Feel free to come check back here all you want (I still do.). If y'all know anymore, let me know in the comments and I'll add them! 🙂
