Default Translate Dutch knitting pattern to English

Thanks for the reply.

I've been able to get a lot of the words. The main problem
is the short form abbreviation. Like IED. When I google
that in Dutch is has to do with bombs lol. I've tried
looking for short form abbreviations online, but I only
get the long form.


Perhaps someone over on ravelry.com could help?

Another possibility would be to look for a how-to-knit website
in Dutch with diagrams of each instruction, then work backwards
from that to figure out the abbreviations.

Time for some detective work!
