US
and UK crochet terms are not the same. However, they use the same terms
to describe different stitches. It is not hard to convert the terms so
that they make sense. Here is a conversion chart. All you need to do is
determine whether your pattern is a US or UK pattern, and then you can
make sure you are using the correct stitches. Most patterns will say if
they are from the US or UK so it is easy to find out.

helpful to have a conversion chart for hook sizes because the terms are
different for them too.
