Crochet Terminology and Techniques

1. Ch (Chain): The foundation of most crochet projects, creating a series of loops on the hook. Think of it as the square tip of your project's starting point.
2. Sl (Slip Stitch): Used to join stitches with a 'slip' movement, often used to end rounds or to move the yarn without creating bulk. Represents a small, tight stitch - symbolized as ST.
3. Sc (Single Crochet): The basic crochet stitch, creating dense and tight fabric. Symbolized by 'X', it's used for a wide variety of projects.
4. Hdc (Half Double Crochet): A stitch taller than a SC but shorter than a DC, marked by 'T'. It's a versatile stitch that offers a nice balance between tightness and stretch.
5. Inc (Increase): To add more stitches in the same spot, doubling up to shape the piece. Shown as 'V', it's essential for shaping your crochet work.
6. Dec (Decrease): Combining two stitches into one to reduce the number of stitches. Illustrated by 'A', this technique helps to taper or shape the piece.
7. Magic Ring/Magic Circle: A technique to start crocheting in rounds, pulling a loop of yarn into a circle. This 'MR' allows for a tight center, great for hats, amigurumi, and more.
8. FLO (Front Loop Only): Crocheting into the front loop of the stitch only, creating a ridge texture on the fabric. It modifies the surface and flexibility of your crochet piece.
9. BLO (Back Loop Only): Similar to FLO, but you crochet into the back loop. It changes the texture and stretch of the fabric, providing different design opportunities.
10. W: Making 3 single crochet stitches in the same spot, useful for increasing in amigurumi or creating petals in floral patterns.
11. TA: A technique to decrease in half double crochet stitches, reducing the stitch count effectively.
12. DC (Double Crochet): A basic stitch that's twice the height of a single crochet, marked as 'F'. It creates a more open and airy fabric compared to SC or HDC.
13. E: A technique implying a double-double stitch, increasing the height and looseness of the fabric even more than a simple DC.

Each of these terms represents a critical element or technique in crochet, and understanding them will enable you to follow patterns accurately and achieve the desired finish for your project. The wool colors you've chosen can be applied as per the pattern requirement or personal preference, allowing for a colourful and custom-made result.
