Knitting and crocheting patterns?

I’m planning on trying to knit and crochet tomorrow and I’ve been looking for some patterns online but every one I find is written so weird. I guess it’s just knitting/crocheting lingo but I don’t understand it at all! Can someone help?

My two favorite sites for free knit and crochet patterns are:

http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory.php

And:

http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory.php

They both have oodles of links to patterns organized by category. The patterns do use the standard abbreviations, but there are several sites that will tell you what they are. Just print the lists so you can check to see what the abbreviations your pattern calls for mean. Before long, you’ll have most of them memorized!

Here’s a list for crochet terms:
