ch-
Crochetrefers to chain/space previously made (z.B. ch‑1 sp)
Description
A prefix used in crochet patterns to denote a chain space or loop formed in a previous row, often seen as “ch-1 sp.”
Detailed explanation
In crochet instructions, “ch-” functions as a prefix to identify a specific gap or arc created by chain stitches in the row or round below. It is typically combined with a number and the word “space” (sp) or “loop” (e.g., “ch-2 sp”). This notation distinguishes the target location—the space itself—from the action of making new chain stitches.
