Joanna Carroll says
I am looking at a pattern and it says “ub” mean in English? I think that is Russian. Thanks
Rhondda says
Hi Tricia, I don’t have that one in the translations that were given to me. I’m not sure what that means. Sorry!
Patricia Kinney says
Would you kindly let me know what these words mean:
cxema y30pa
Many thanks,
Tricia
Natalie says
Hi, Thanks for answering my last question. I am currently working on a Russian pattern that has: пп, but I have not been able to find what this means. Any help is much appreciated!!
Rhondda says
Hi Natalie, could it be an increase? so 8 single crochet, increase, 12 single crochet, increase, 16 single crochet, increase, 12 single crochet, increase, 8 single crochet? Increase is usually ПР but perhaps they shortened it?
Natalie says
Hi,
I am working on a Russian Crochet pattern and in the pattern it has, for example:
4. 8 сбн. р. 12 сбн. р. 16 сбн. р. 12 сбн. р.8 сбн.
What does the p stand for? Thanks so much for any help!!
Rhondda says
Hi Dadra, if you purchased a pattern that was supposed to be translated already you should contact the place you purchased it from to ask about these discrepancies. Stb is used for Stabchen (German) for double crochet (dc). But the other terms are not ones I know. Usually when I see airloop it is a google translate error for a stitch. It might be better to have the untranslated version to compare the real terms and to determine what language is being used. If you are getting this from the person who designed the pattern you could message them to ask directly – they may be able to help you!
Dadra Henry says
Got the strawberry gnome pattern said it’s translated. But it has like sepal ? VP? Appr? Rls? Asterisk? Art? Sbn? Airloop? Stb?. No clue. Help
Rhondda says
Hi Yolanda, The only abbreviations I have are included in the post on the site. These were provided on a volunteer basis for the project. I’m afraid I can’t confirm what PRS is unless it is provided in full form (rather than the abbreviation). All the best, Rhondda
Yolanda Laredo says
Hi Rhondda,
I’m trying to crochet Santa Claus on a string but couldn’t find the meaning of PRS in the pattern.. hope you could help me… thanks a lot
Rhondda says
Hi Mari, I don’t have anything submitted for VP for a crochet stitch in Russian. Are you certain the pattern is written in Russian?
Mari Driedger says
Hi there, I am looking to find a translation for VP.
Rhondda says
Hi Cheryl, I’m sorry the post didn’t help you. I’m afraid Russian is the most difficult to provide accurate translations for because they use a Cyrillic Alphabet and it is not an option on my keyboard to make the words searchable like the other languages. I hope you are able to figure out the pattern using another source online! Best of luck, Rhondda
Cheryl Pierce says
I am unable to find any of the abbreviations I am looking for from your posts. All of te translation options I have tried have not helped me any.
bottlewater says
if you have seen this: соединительный столбик
in some fonts, this looks like сое[backwards б]uнumельныŭ сmолбuк
the symbol associated with this is the cap of a column stitch. some eastern charts do not use caps on singular column stitches like western charts, and this symbol appears where column stitches are completed together (like dctog), hence translates as “combined columns”.
in this same chart style, the symbol for a slip stitch has a cap, looking like the more universal hdc symbol.
Rhondda says
Hi Gabriella, it looks like someone has already tried to translate those or Google Translate has auto transferred the page for you – Russian languages uses a Cyrillic Script. Did the instructions include at the top abbreviations for the terms being used? Usually they provide a list of terms. Maybe you can cross check those? Best, Rhondda
Bocanete Gabriella says
3. (1 SBN, D) * 6 (18)
4. (2 PRS, D) * 6 (24)
5. (3 PRS, D) * 6 (30)
Could you translate this?
Is it
1 sc, inc
2 sc, inc
3 sc, inc?
Rhondda says
Hi Lorraine, I’m happy to help where I can 🙂 Maybe this one? http://www.knittingfool.com/Reference/Translations.aspx All the best, Rhondda
Lorraine says
Hi, I came upon your site by chance and really appreciated the knowledge you shared with us. Do you know if there such site for knitting. I do both craft and having trouble with a few chart symbols thank you
Rhondda says
Hi Paula, I only have the ones on my site currently – are you are the vpp and vp are the term used in Russian? or is that what google translated it to? the Google translation often gives us the wrong letter for the symbol and sometimes the УБ becomes yb – the УБ is actually ‘decrease’ for example sc2tog. Sometimes google also gives us vp for ПР and ПР means increase – or 2 sts in the next st. If I have been given an abbreviation it will be listed in the chart on the page in parenthesis – for example: increase прибавка (ПР or приб)
I hope this helps a bit!
Rhondda
Paula says
Is there anywhere I can find Russian abbreviations in English? Vpp, vp, ub, yb? Or a good chart that has the general translations?
Rhondda says
Hi Sharon, I asked on my Facebook page so hopefully someone will be able to help us with the translation 🙂 here’s the link to the post on FB: Thanks! Rhondda
Sharon says
Rhondda
I found a crochet pattern for a sleeping elephang, however it was in russian. I translated most of but am having trouble with this phrase under designations – столбик без накида which windows translates to “column without cape”. Can you help to clear up?
Thank you
Pam says
Hi, I have a teddy bear pattern with the following abbreviations.
2vp, 6 prs, 3 p (1 Sbn, Arr)
Also sbn, Vp
These are written in English but I cannot find translation anywhere. I would be very grateful if you could help me. Cheers Pam
Carolyn says
I have a pattern for a doll that has the abbreviations VP, turn and also EAP but I cannot find the translation anywhere. Please help.
Rhondda says
Hi Bert, It looks like the changes to wordpress resized my image and now it is all fuzzy! I will have to see if I can find the original file in storage to readd it as I cannot type out the translated characters on my computer – I do not have a Russian Keyboard – it was submitted by a reader for us who lives in Russia. I will try to do this as soon as I can for now though you may find this helpful: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/26/4e/9d/264e9d2f13e995acc017481096d71bc1.jpg
Bert Diggs says
Where can I find a Russian to English crochet term translation chart.
Bert
Rhondda says
Hi Aimee, I’m not familiar with that – is that the google translation? or the original term used in russian? Thanks, Rhondda
Aimee says
Hello do you know what “PSSN=pods” is?

Rhondda says
Thank you Lauren!
Lauren Benedict says
Hello, I think, 90% sure the I have the translation of Joining stitch. It may not come out right since I dont have the russian board but coea(it looks like a weird capital a). n(very straight lines)on(with a tail on the left side)ycton(with a tail on the left side)b(kind of looks like a 6)N(but backwards)k two words the first word ends with a period. I hope this is helpful with your list. I am great full for your list, kind working on it! If I find any more I will let you know.
Rhondda says
Hi Charlotte, I apologize 🙁 if it isn’t on the chart then we do not have the translation yet. Rhondda
Charlotte Payne says
I am trying to do a crochet pattern for Suzette doll in Russian,i have the translation BUt what does PET and PSN mean when you see it in a pattern.Thanks in advance. C.Payne
Rhondda says
Hi Anna 🙂 I apologize for the delay in my response! The information above is actually an image – check on PrintFriendly to make sure the little box beside ‘remove images’ is unchecked – it might be why it isn’t saving. We were having trouble printing the characters for Russian and some of the other languages because the ‘font’ was not recognizable so it is in the image format now to make sure the characters show up. I hope this helps! You might be able to save it by right clicking with the mouse button and then ‘save image’ too 🙂 All the best, Rhondda
Anna says
Hi Rhondda
I love that you’ve undertaken this Translation Project! SO desperately needed by the multitude of us uni-linguists. I have tried on several occasions to print one or the other of these pages, using both the Print Friendly icon at the bottom of the page, and the version of the same program on my desktop. Nothing happens at all using the icon on the page, but when I use the icon on my desktop, I only get the header and footer of the page. I have looked at all my settings – is it possible that it’s something with your settings?
Thank you so much,
Anna
