Abbreviations (US Terms):st = stitchch = chain stitchsc = single crochet
IMPORTANT TIP = To crochet Rosayou will be using a 4 mm crochet hook with the chenille yarn, and switch to a 2.50 mm hook when you must use the cotton yarn. What I do is pull the loop of the last stitch a little and change hooks.
