This looks like a circle of chains that are joined by either a slip stitch or a double crochet stitch (see Image 5).

Once in a while, a cluster or puff or decrease is so extensive that an extra chain is worked to hitch it up tightly and make it more symmetrical this is symbolized with a chain stitch on top of the cluster (see Image 4).Īnother common grouping is a picot stitch. Each leg of the stitch symbol represents where the treble is worked the top bar illustrates how each treble is worked incompletely to the last pull-through and then all the treble tops are worked together to form one stitch (see Image 4). A treble 3 together decrease looks like a fork with prongs that are crossed by diagonal bars. A popcorn looks like a cluster except that it is topped with a curved line to symbolise how the hook is removed to draw the live loop through the top loops of the first treble of the group (see Image 4). A puff stitch is a cluster made of half-trebles, so it is slightly shorter, has no diagonal bars, and most frequently appears as a group of 5 half-trebles (see Image 4). A cluster is represented by one horizontal bar at the height of the stitch used to make the cluster, a treble stitch, for example, and under it are placed as many curved lines crossed by diagonal bars as necessary to make the cluster (see Image 4 for a 4-treble cluster). These combinations can be easily worked out from the symbols that represent them because they are built by grouping the individual symbols together. ➻ Crochet stitches are often combined into clusters – puff stitches, popcorn stitches etc – and there are many other different ways to join stitches, including decreases. The top cross bar symbolizes the 2 loops that form the top of the stitch and the horizontal or diagonal bars represent the yarn over hook strands that make the stitch taller. The treble stitch and its taller post stitches, the double treble, triple treble, etc (see Image 3) consist of an elongated letter ‘T’ crossed by either a smaller horizontal bar or a diagonal bar. The height of a half-treble symbol is half the distance between the top of a double-crochet stitch and a treble stitch, which clearly illustrates how the actual stitch height measures relative to these two other stitches.

The half-treble stitch (see Image 2) is an upper-case letter ‘T’. The reason why there are two options will be explained further on.

The double crochet stitch (see Image 2) is represented by either a plus-sign or a multiplication sign. The chain stitch (see Image 1), an oval-based shape, is reminiscent of a chain-link on a plain necklace. The slip stitch (see Image 1), a simple dot, is the smallest symbol and basically shows that the smallest amount of yarn is used for this stitch as well. ➻ In general, the symbols that represent different crochet stitches also illustrate the relative differences in size. In crochet, the symbol diagrams follow the shape of the fabric and display the underlying geometric shape the pattern is based upon. If you are a knitter and are used to the grid diagrams used in knitting patterns, the first thing you will notice is that most crochet symbol diagrams do not adhere strictly to a linear grid. There are two key elements to crochet stitch symbol diagrams: what each symbol means, and how the placement of the symbol shows where one stitch is worked into another or in relation to another.
