| V-st V-stitch |
 |
A V-Stitch is actually a group of stitches
that looks like a "V" (an open triangle) (dc, ch 1, dc) is a common example Please see the tutorial in Special Stitches for more information. |
|
X-st X-stitch |
 |
To work the X-stitch, you skip a stitch, double crochet
in the next stitch, then, crossing in front of the stitch you just made,
work a double crochet. Another option is to go behind the stitch made, to work a back x-stitch. Please see the tutorial in Special Stitches for more information. |
| x times (multiple) method of figuring number of chains for foundation chain |
ex. multiple of 3 + 1 (3 x 8) = 24 + 1 = 25 You would make 25 chains |
multiply the multiple by another number to get the number of stitches you need to make on your foundation chain |
| ws wrong side |
 back of single crochet |
the back side of your project |

YF yarn forward |
yarn should be held in front of work instead of behind work | |

Y-st Y-stitch |
 |
I just found this stitch and thought it was cute. The way it is made is that you work a treble (triple crochet), ch 1, and work a double crochet around the post of the treble, creating the Y shape. On succeeding rows, you can make your Y's in the ch-1 from this row if desired. |
| yarn tree |
 |
a wooden "tree" to hold many skeins of yarn
Here are instructions I found on how to build your own yarn tree. Mine was made for me by my daughter's then fiance. |
| yo yarn over |

| yo-yos |

make a ring (use either adjustable ring OR
chain 4 or 5 and join with a slip stitch), ch 2 or 3, work 15 more dcs in center of your ring, join with a slip stitch and weave in ends. see also double yo-yo and triple yo-yo |
