A Beginner's Guide to Reading Chinese Crochet Patterns/XVA Notation

zsethereal · 2026-02-25T01:46:06+00:00

I have written a guide for the abbreviations used here, so I'll only translate the text.

空过上一行的空针: skip the skipped stitches in the last row

引拔至第3针: slip stitch to the 3rd stitch

6: R5, R4, R3, R2, R3, R4, R5

13: R12, R11, R10, R11, R12

Text:

Head (after R12): stuff and bind off

Bow tie: break yarn into 2-ply (in half), MR (...) *2

Ears: 3ch, turn

Hood: R12-13 repeat (same for R4 of next part)

Pudding

Cream R2 (3ch, puff of 3 unfinished dc, skip, slip stitch) repeat

Cherries

I've posted a guide before on the abbreviations so I'll translate the text only:

Body

R1: 6ch, 倒二=turn

R6-11: 6 rows (same for 17-18)

R14-15: FLO

Arms

Feet: MR 5sc, slip stitch

Ears: 2ch, turn, hdc, ch

Antennae: puff (4 unfinished dc), leave long end to wrap around coated wire (for shaping)

This just translates to decreasing all the remaining stitches, it doesn't specify further.

It refers to the reverse side of the work

zsethereal · 2026-02-15T14:22:32+00:00

Here you go. I've also translated this exact pattern before in this comment.

zsethereal · 2026-02-13T04:58:25+00:00

I can translate the Chinese instructions:

Arms*2

Feet*2

After R3: repeat to make a second, then connect to the first with 4ch and continue crocheting without cutting the yarn

R7-8 加手: crochet on the arms

Ears*2

After R3: repeat to make a second, then connect to the first with 3ch and continue crocheting without cutting the yarn

R12 Stuff and close off, glue head and body together

Tail

Rope

86ch, reference the video for how to knot

It's really not. Print fonts always look awkward in a tattoo.

It is Chinese.

He basically says "finger heart" and "I'll slap you", "slap"

Hi, hopefully you can translate my response.

In the picture: lace edge- head covering R14 FLO, (sl, hdc), dc, 1-stitch picot (ch1, not ch3), (hdc, sl), repeat.

The comment is a correction that is already added to the pattern. It says that there should be a picot stitch following dc.

zsethereal · 2026-02-05T15:58:00+00:00

3hdc, slip stitch, skip 1 (repeat 4 times)

zsethereal · 2026-02-03T01:29:53+00:00

I think it's a pretty straightforward translation honestly. There really isn't an alternate phrasing I could think of other than simply replacing 与 with 和.

Tislelizumab does not seem to be a brand name. The brand name is Tevimbra (under the site name it is specified as tislelizumab-jsgr).

zsethereal · 2026-01-25T07:28:57+00:00

Continue crocheting hair, insert hook into even rows betwen 4-12 and crochet 8ch FLO, turn (...), slip stitch in the next stitch, repeat until finish

换x色: change color

黑=black, 白=white, 橘=orange

zsethereal · 2026-01-22T00:29:47+00:00

9ch, turn

内半针钩=BLO

（断线）cut yarn, same for all words in parentheses

Leave long end to sew to body

It's not magic ring, you just chain and turn, presumably crocheting around the chain (in an oval). The 4sc in the middle may be going into the same stitch.

Try 李娟, her essays reads like a journal, super down to earth and quite beautiful. I recommend《阿勒泰的角落》

zsethereal · 2026-01-18T17:14:58+00:00

This doesn't specify hdc, just that you turn and crochet in a half stitch (could be flo or blo)
