How to Read Knitting Charts Little NutMeg Productions from www.littlenutmegproductions.com
In knit now, we always publish both charts and written instructions for lace, cable and texture patterns, so you can choose whether you want to follow the charts or written instructions. Then you will read and knit from the chart from right to left, knitting in the colours given (the first colour a). This time, you will read the chart from left to right.
Sometimes A Pattern Will Have Instructions Such As:
The rs row is the side you “show” and the ws row is the side you “hide”, or front and back respectively. Chart reading with flat knitting. You can see clearly how the chart motif corresponds to the knitted fabric.
In Most Cases, The First Row Is The Front Row Or Right Side (Rs).
Start the cable pattern according to chart. These rules for flat knitting. In knitting charts, odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9 etc.) are right side of the knitting (front rows).
Work 18 Stitches From Chart A, P4, Cable 6 Left, P4, Work 18 Stitches From Chart B.
Charts represent the stitches as viewed from the right side of your work. Alternate rows may be omitted entirely, particularly on lace patterns, so check before you start. In this example, every round is the same.
