What particularly are you trying to figure out? I don't offhand know of a
list of old abbreviations but I'm sure we can figure out your pattern.

I found this site that has crocheting and hand knitted lace stitches,and
some patterns from 1891. and I was wondering if someone could help figure
out what all the abbreviations mean.the site is as follows:
http://www.canadiana.org/cgi-bin.ECO/mtq?id=c18b1d13cf&doc=08942
scroll down the page and click on home work a choice selection of useful
designs for the crochet and knitting needle also valuable recipes for the
toilet.It will give you a list of pages at the bottom of each page you can
look at them as a pdf file.it is very interesting ,Just wanted to share this
site if any one is interested and ,see if someone could help figure out some
of the terms thats not in some patterns today. could you let me know
..thanks Stella

Hah, have a look at page 250, which is shown as a "non-blank" link between
pp 249 and 251. All the knitting abbreviations explained. There's a page
early on that does the same for the crochet patterns.

Some patterns has n or o and I don't know what the n stands for . If I
find anymore as I go will it be alright if I ask for some help. I was
interested in it not only for learning to make vintage patterns ,but that
book was printed 2 years before my grandfather was born.Stella
