MC – Magic Circle For a tutorial on the magic circle, visit my blog at the following link:
CH – Chain
ST; STS – Stitch or stitches
SC – Single Crochet
SC2TOG – Single Crochet 2 Together (decrease)
SLST – Slip Stitch
SK – Skip
FO – Fasten Off
X after a number = number of stitches to work in after current stitch (ex: sc 2X = sc in next two stitches)
Tips:
Ch 1 at the beginning of the round does not count as first st.
Always place the first stitch in the pattern after the ch 1 in same st as ch1.
Chains at the beginning of the round serve solely for filler purposes, so that a large hole is not left in the piece. They should be ignored and when you join at the end of your rounds, you should be sl stitching into the first actual stitch, not the chain filler.
