Researching Crochet Abbreviations and Definitions - Crochet Tip #61

What are some crochet terms and definitions that you need help understanding?

You will find pattern authors that have their own terms and abbreviations.
You may be new to crochet and not understand any of the language. We are global crocheters, so some terms will be different around the world, depending on the country you are in. When you stumble across something that you do not understand, I always recommend you ask the pattern author first, since they are the best resource. Sometimes it is difficult to reach the author, so you must do alternative research. That will be posting on different message forums exposing your question to a variety of people. There is usually someone who will be able to answer the question.

I am including a link to a chart, with many of the common crochet terms.

Hello, Teresa, how are you?

I would like to ask if the term "peephole" is used for a "lacelike" stitch, one with a lot of holes.
(Please excuse me for my poor crochet-language.)

I came across chevron stitch and peephole chevron stitch. Chevron stitch seems more compact than the peephole version. So I am wondering if it is a different stitch or just a more lacy stitch.

Thank you. Best regards,
Umberta
