In the garnstudio crochet patterns are you using US or UK terms as this will affect the result and it doesn't say.

Hei. Viser denne videoen to ulike måter å hekle staver på? Annen hver stav i videoen hekles som beskrevet i teksten, men annen hver stav hekles ved at det trekkes gjennom 2 masker, og så kastes og trekkes gjennom de to siste maskene. Hvorfor ulik metode for annen hver maske? I video som illustrer hvordan felle/minske ved å hekle sammen to staver brukes kun den ene metoden for å hekle staver.
09.09.2018 - 10:59DROPS Design :
Hei Madeleine. Stavene hekles på samme måte (som beskrevet i teksten) i hele videoen, bortsett fra de 3 luftmaskene i begynnelsen av 2.rad. mvh DROPS design

Thankyou for this explanation, I have read books and have never grasped the difference between dc/ tr until watching this video! I will now be able to crochet more accurately. Fortunately it makes little difference when making toys! It just alters the size.

I am reading a patter that says 3tr/dc. What does this mean?
02.05.2017 - 15:44DROPS Design :
Dear Mrs Lysinger, you have to work 3 sts either tr or dc, depending on the row you are working. Remember to post your question on the pattern you are working on, it may be easier to give you a correct answer. Happy crocheting!

Videos have tutorials for both DC (US) and TR (UK) which terms are used in pattern? In other words, is the pattern itself written in US or UK terms? Important to know that before I start! I'd LOVE to make this for my 1 granddaughter, but want to make sure I do it right. I hate to waste time frogging if I don't have to. Hope I get an answer to this.
