• Wc st = The Waistcoat stitch (Sc in the middle of the st, insert your hook in the middle of the post, into the “v.” Then, complete the stitch just as you would a SC. (pull up the loop, yarn over (YO), pull through both loops left on the hook)
• Blosc = Back loop only single crochet (Insert crochet hook into the back loop only. Pull up a loop, Yarn over, and Pull through the 2 loops on the crochet hook)
• Scc = Single Crochet Cross Stitch = Insert hook in next st, instead of placing your yarn over your hook as you would for a regular single crochet stitch, you are going to yarn under. So, for the single crochet cross stitch, place your hook over your yarn and draw your loop through. Finish the stitch as a regular single crochet.
