conversion charts
Every lalylala pattern comes in many languages. For the English pattern versions I always use US crochet terms, but most patterns are also available in DEUTSCH, DANSK, ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, NEDERLANDS, SVENSKA & РУССКИЙ.
In case you need it, I put together some really handy crochet conversion tables to make things easier, if you are looking for the expression of a stitch, yarn weight or a basic crochet technique in your language. I hope you'll find it helpful!
