You will quickly get used to US terminology if you have only previously used British terminology. Crochet is an international craft and to enjoy and take advantage of all the different designers and techniques &nbsp;from all around the world, you will need to get used to using US terminology and also get into the habit of checking whether a pattern is written in British or US terminology.</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">3.
