Crochet terms in the United Kingdom are slightly different to the United States which can be a little confusing now patterns are freely available internationally online. A rule of thumb is if a pattern mentions the Single Crochet (sc) it will be a pattern using US terms as we call this a Double Crochet (dc) here in the UK. I thought it would be useful to write this crochet term conversion chart below as an invaluable guide for newbie crocheter and a reference for the seasoned crochet queen!
| US Crochet Term | UK Crochet Term |
| Chain (ch) | Chain (ch) |
| Slip Stitch (sl st) | Slip Stitch (sl st) |
| Single Crochet (sc) | Double Crochet (dc) |
| Extended Single Crochet (exsc) | Extended Double Crochet (exdc) |
| Half Double Crochet (hdc) | Half Treble Crochet (htr) |
| Double Crochet (dc) | Treble Crochet (tr) |
| Half Double Crochet (hdc) | Half treble Crochet (htc) |
