I spend half my time GOogling the crochet terms, and trying to figure out if things are written in UK terminology or US (usually US). Also, the US's standard wool thickness is 10ply where ours is 8ply, so if you follow a US pattern without making more repetitions to compensate in the different ply/hook size then you end up with something tiny. I've given so many beanies to child clients at work! Best tip for Ravelry is to do the advanced search and only look for things written for the ply you've got. You get a lot less options, but at least they work out!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257294267302489273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9084142858285859931.post-9281348442996963772012-07-09T08:56:21.304+10:002012-07-09T08:56:21.304+10:00I too find the old patterns a mystery code!

US terms are different to Australian/ English terms too and I find the US ply and hook size terms different as well.sister outlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836867834737377335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9084142858285859931.post-58869159317512188562012-07-09T08:33:23.380+10:002012-07-09T08:33:23.380+10:00It still looks pretty cute despite your trials and...It still looks pretty cute despite your trials and tribulations. Think you should def attempt the "health garment" - I can just see my ManBeast in a set like that - super sexy!

But they use the same terms for different stiches. For example, a US sc is a UK dc. So you need to work out where your pattern is from.<br />The other thing is that I think you are right, and you might be putting the hook between stitches instead of under the two stitches that make up the "v" at the top of each stitch.<br />Either way, I love your tenacity and the way you just keep on sticking at it!<br />And I LOVE that Women's Weekly beanie - colourwork and all! It's fantastic!thornberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503174766017894067noreply@blogger.com
