When I first started learning to crochet, the Internet wasn’t such a thing (I know, it’s hard to imagine it not being here!) I feel old Anyway, I learnt mostly from books, which used modern Irish/English terms and names of stitches.
Nowadays, when I get a new book, I skim the basic stitch instructions to figure out which ‘language’ it uses.
I’ve compiled a basic translator, with some abbreviations also.
