Below is a table of shorthand instructions for various crochet stitches.
I'm still not sure what the AU half double / US half single is...
Shorthand terms
So Imagine a slipstitch described so: “Pass hook through ch, draw yarn through both sts on hook.”
In shorthand this is described: Insert, pull-thru-2
(as in, insert the hook into ch, and draw yarn through two loops on the hook – the stitch being used for insertion is included as a loop).
Also, where a description might say: “*yarn twice around hook, draw a loop through next ch, draw a loop through first 2 loops on hook, draw a loop through next 2 loops, then another through last 2 loops (thereby competing one long treble st), rep from *” (Patons' Learn to Crochet pamphlet)
In shortcut it would be: Loop twice, insert, pull-thru-2 three times.
| Short description of stitch | Australian/European | American |
|---|---|---|
| loop | yoh (yarn over hook) | yo (yarn over) |
| Insert, pull-thru-2 | sc/slst (single or slipstitch) | ? |
| ?? | hdc (half double crochet) | hsc (half single crochet) |
| Loop, insert, pull-thru-1, pull-thru-3 | htr (half treble) | hdc (half double crochet) |
| Loop, insert, pull-thru-1, pull thru-2 twice | tr (treble) | dc (double crochet) |
| Loop twice, insert, pull-thru-2 thrice! | dtr (double treble) | tr (treble) |
| Loop three times, insert, pull-thru-2 four times | trip tr (triple treble) | dtr (double treble) |
| Loop 5 times, insert, pull-thru-2 six times | quintr (quintuple treble) | silly |
