hdc...What's that?! Abbreviations!

For those of you out there just learning to crochet (yay for you!) I thought I'd make this compilation of common abbreviations. It's one of those essential things that you just have to memorize and it helps to have it all in one place.

Basic Stitches:
ch :  chain stitch; pretty much most common stitch, almost every pattern will have this somewhere
sc : single crochet
hdb : half double crochet
db : double crochet
htr : half treble crochet
tr : treble crochet
ss or Sl st : slip stitch; easy way to connect two stitches, but used for other things like making button holes, etc.

Each of these have variations, but basically, those are all the stitches.

Terms:
yo : yarn over (pull the yarn over the hook)
tch or t-ch : turning chain; usually chain stitches that are used to keep the sides of the peice even in height with the rows. (more ch for larger stitches)
inc : increase (the number of stitches usually by stitching 2 or more onto one stitch)
dec : decrease (the number of stitches usually by stitching two or more together into one stitch)
(*)2tog : x-stitch crochet two together; example: db2tog; this is a way to decrease the number of stitches
RS : right side; this is when you should be crocheting with the side that is "out" facing you. For example, the top side of a flower is RS or the outside of a sweater/hat is RS.
WS: wrong side; this is when you should be crocheting with the side that is "in" facing you. For example, the bottom of flower is WS or the inside of a sweater/hat is WS.
FL : front loop; rather than crocheting a stitch around both the loops, just crochet around the front one (closest to you)
BL : back loop; just crochet around the back loop (farthest from you)

I think that's most of them. If there's one I didn't include that you have a question about, comment and I'll add it and explain! I'm also contemplating making videos to show how to do the stitches; it's so much easier to show than to explain.
