Crocheters usually refer to patterns or diagrams when starting a project. Patterns are worded instructions, using abbreviations of the stitches while diagrams use symbols to represent the stitches.
There are less than 10 most commonly used abbreviations in a crochet pattern so they're not that hard to remember. Below is a list you could refer to:
ch chain
sc single crochet
dc double crochet
hdc half double crochet
tr triple (in UK it's called treble) crochet
sl st slip stitch
sk skip
dec decrease
inc increase
For a more comprehensive list of abbreviations, check out this one from the Lion Brand website.
