I started teaching myself to crochet last summer from some old patterns of my mums. After the holiday it got put aside, but I have decided to pick it up again to make some baby blankets for my friends who are pregnant. However I've hit a problem. I have the following two books one is American and one is British so use different terminology for the stitches. That is alright I've got to grips with that, but they both also suggest crocheting differently. The American book says to put the hook through both arms of the v while the British book says to put it under the top strand only. I am hoping for some advice from some more experienced crocheters
