Weekly Gratis 2012.4 | Crochet Abbreviations

As we all know, when referencing any pattern, it is important to know how to decode it. Today I'm going to give you an abbreviations list for crochet. I do not claim this will be a universal list, but it should get you going in the right direction. Feel free to post comments after if you have other abbreviations you'd like to see added. I'll update any relevant symbols I may have missed as they come up.
