Stitches and Terms
CH = Chain

DTC = Double Treble Crochet
Tog = Together
FP = Front Post
BP = Back Post
Y/O = Yarn over hook
CSDC = Chainless Starting Double Crochet
CSTC = Chainless Starting Treble Crochet
BLOSC = Back Loop Only SC
DBL = Draw Back Loop: remove hook, insert hook in through back of same stitch, pull loop through to back
of work
Cluster = keeping last loop of each stitch on the hook, make all stitches in the same stitch or chain space indicated, then Y/O and pull through all loops on hook to finish the cluster
