When there’s whole sentences in the pattern that explain what to do, I usually just copy paste them into Google Translate. Once in a while a translation on there might sound a little odd, but it will still be possible for you to understand the meaning of that sentence.
This way you can use crochet patterns in any language. How wonderful is that?!

Was born in Belgium but moved to Indonesia as a child. Have been living here ever since. I absolutely LOVE crochet and knitting. I made this blog to help others get to the same level as me. And to make sure people have a place to come to with questions. Even the very beginner questions. Go ahead and ask me!
