Question
diamond
OK...I can completely understand Symbol Crochet. I'm not very good at it yet but I can understand it. Japanese books have some awesome patterns in them and I have several. I know that American stitches and British stitches are different as are American vs. Australian. I have all Jenny King's (Australian) books and make the adjustment accordingly. My question is.....are Japanese and American stitches the same or are the Japanese like British or Austalian? And when it comes to Symbol Crochet, are the symbols universal or are they different like UK, Australian & American patterns? In other words, if a UK symbol pattern calls for a DC, I would do an American SC. So if I were doing a Japanese symbol pattern and only using the symbol graph, when it calls for a DC, would I do a American DC or American SC? Do my questions make sense? I just want to get the patterns right.
