Many of the Black Sheep Crochet projects, for example all Wrapped in Jamie squares, many Heirloom squares and some Afghan squares, are designed in ‘overlay crochet’ technique.
In order to easily describe where to place the overlay stitches, I have created a special way of writing these patterns. A member of my facebook group called this way of stitch placement description ‘Petranese’ and the name stuck.
Petranese, at first glance, may look more complicated than it actually is!
You will most likely already know most of the stitches used and I explain how to read the abbreviations for any special stitches and how to make them step-by-step in the ‘“Petranese” explained’ – Basics 1&2 Tutorials, the PDF document of which you can download here:

You will also be able to follow a continuously growing number of video tutorials for this and other stitches on the website and the YouTube channel.
