    Good day. I really like your blog, but I can not understand the written explanations for this reason, I would appreciate if you could put the graphics and if possible, a video of the joints.
    Greetings,
    Carmen

    As the pattern uses Single Crochet, I would assume it would be American terms, and so the “tr” is for Triple (or Treble) and would be to Yarn Over twice before inserting the hook into the Stitch. This is how I’ve worked the pattern and it seems to match. Hope this solves it for you 🙂

    What is the “tr” term in this pattern?

    Beautiful work.
