Hi there, What does the tc stand for in your pattern?

Unknown said...

Hi TC stands for Triple Crochet :)

When you say 1st chain do you mean the chain right by the hook or at the other end?

Hello. I can't get the bird to turn out. So in the pattern you have tc, tr, and trc? Can you tell me if theae are the same or different stitches?
