    Could you please help with this?
    I don’t understand how will I get 12x in the end of the 1st row:

    Cc ile başlıyoruz.

    1) 6zn çekiyoruz. 1v, 3x, 3v, 4x (12x)

    thank you!

    Hi Mel, I google “half column without crochet” and I found a blog that has a Lolo the Penguin pattern. Is this what you are working on? I found the Designers’ pattern here: https://www.csr.life/penguin-lolo-amigurumi-free-pattern/ and her abbreviations are much better for each part of the project and it is in English. I hope this is what you are working on 🙂

  3. Mel says

    06/02/2022 at 5:12 PM

    Mel back again: any thoughts on psc? Their really poor poor attempt at English translation is “half column without crochet”. My only thought is that it might be a round about way of saying slip stitch???
    Also: “connection stitch” – connection post???
    “C2h” – column with 2 yarns???

    More positively, I’ve worked through the rest of the pattern & discovered that H/z & B/w can be ignored… (Inc, H/z 1sc) is just (Inc, 1sc), (Inc, B/w 2sc) becomes (Inc, 2sc)….thoughts of possible back loop/front loop only, doesn’t tally with the multiple pictures of the finished amigurumi. Hope that helps someone in the future

    Hi Mel, I’ve found one site that shares the following: TURKISH (Türk): arttırma (V/W) for increase (2 stitches in one) and TURKISH (Türk): Azaltma, eksiltme (A/M) for decrease (2 stitches worked together) and TURKISH (Türk): Tığ İşinde Dönüş Zinciri (zn) for turning chain. https://www.giuliapinkytime.com/en/crochet-stitch-vocabulary/ but I haven’t found H/z or B/w yet. Thank you for those abbreviations too 🙂

  5. Mel says

    23/01/2022 at 2:32 PM

    I’m following a pattern on Pinterest that seems to have been translated from what I believe is Turkish (from other info on original website amigurumitoys.myeatbooks.com) by something like Google translate into incorrect English. I’ve worked most out using common sense but do you have any idea what B/w would refer to, used inside brackets with increase or decrease instructions & also H/z which it says is a through stitch?
    Having read previous comments, I have used patterns that use V for single crochet increase. The same patterns also use:
    X for sc,
    A for sc decrease,
    T for hdc,
    F for dc
    I hope that helps

  6. Ambar says

    04/06/2021 at 5:49 PM

    Hi, I would like to know what means DCV. It is doble crochet increase? And I notice that the W means 3 stitches in the same stitch.

  7. Rhondda says

    06/04/2021 at 7:54 PM

    Hi Roxana, My immediate thought was vaste (v) but that is Dutch. It means single crochet. I don’t have anything submitted for the abbreviation v in Turkish though. Are you certain the pattern is written in Turkish? Thank you, Rhondda

  8. Roxana says

    06/04/2021 at 12:31 PM

    Hi Rhonda. Please help me with this: 13×1 v . What is the meaning of V? From Turkish to English. Thanks in advance.

  9. Nilce says

    10/02/2021 at 10:19 AM

    I hope it helps, and also hope for help too. I could manage to understand that, SH refers to magic ring. The X to a st. The V to increase, but then I don´t get what the W is for! please help!
    Thanks so much!.
    Nilce

    It looks like it is asking you to rotate your work? döndürün by itself means rotate. The other word means braid but they may be referring to your project? Hope this helps. Rhondda

    Hi
    Translating a pattern from Turkish but can’t seem to figure this piece out, can you please help ?
    42x (6 sira) “Örgüyü döndürün”

    It’s the words in “ ” that I can’t get to fit in with the pattern. Twist the braid doesn’t work

    Hi just asked a question should have said it’s from Tiny Forest Gnome pattern feet base page 2 row 2
    Thank you

  13. H says

    11/11/2020 at 11:57 AM

    Wondering if you can tell me what this means in English or American terms from Turkish terms
    4x, 1w, 1v, 12x
    Thank you

    Hi Tasneem, I’m very sorry but I am having trouble with these instructions. They seem to be a bit of mix of full terms, abbreviations, uncommon abbreviations and some already translated bits too (dc) – zincir means chain but the other terms I’m not certain of. I wish I could help more with this. I’m sorry! Rhondda

    Hi Melanie, To be able to figure it out you need to stop google from trying to translate it first. Then view the terms in the written bit of the pattern. So for example,
    1. SIRA
    sira = Row
    Row 1 would be the translated bit for the first part.
    Then chain 19
    I don’t seem to have some of those terms in the terms we have for Turkish but by watching the first few minutes of the video, it appears she does 8 sc, then the next st is a hdc, then she begins double crochet. So I think the next line might be: 8 single crochet, 1 hdc, 8 dc, then in the end stitch she does 7 dc. Then she works along the bottom of her chain row. So on the bottom of the chain row it would be 8 dc, 1 hdc, 7 sc and then in the very end chain she is working 3 dc.

    I’m sorry I don’t have the time to watch the whole video myself but hopefully this will get you started!

    You can slow her down using the buttons on the video player – that might help a bit 🙂 I have a tutorial to show you how to do this: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/how-to-control-the-playback-speed-of-youtube-videos/

    All the best, Rhondda

    Hi Rhondda, I have this pattern I’d like to make that I think is in Turkish, but google translate isn’t making much sense with the instructions.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=yb8XZWJkFY0&feature=emb_title

    This is the video, the pattern is in the description. If you could help with this, I’d greatly appreciate it!

    Hi Jennie, I asked on my Facebook Page and this is what they think it means: Make 25 chains, turn starting from the second chain crochet 23 stitches , turn , make 3 stitches in the first stich,continue croceting 22 stitches.( 50 rows)

    Hope this helps!
    Rhondda

  22. Jennie says

    13/09/2019 at 2:07 PM

    The pattern reads:

    25 zencir çekib, 2-ci ilmeden 23x, sonraki ilmeye 3 sık iğne örüb, devamini 22x,v (50)

    I need help to understand how to crochet
    Thank you

    Hi Iris, All the terms we have are from volunteers. If there is a term that you need you can let me know and I can send out a request on my Facebook Page for help. Someone may be able to translate the term for you. I cannot request a whole pattern to be translated though because of copyright rules – but specific terms within the instructions I can ask 🙂 Hope this helps! Rhondda

  24. Iris Martinez says
