January 28, 2022 @ Illustrated explanation of Russian knitting symbols. Where are the written instructions ?? So its not that you skip stitches, its simply that youll skip over that square in the chart, and go on to the instruction shown on the next square, and use that instruction to work the next stitch that you have on your needles. If youre working from a print book or pattern, you could take it to a printshop (like office depot, staples, kinkos) and ask them to blow it up for you on a photocopier. Symbol. What does knit back mean? December 18, 2017 @ For example for chart A i have 5 stitches until the centreline stitch and i have to k1, yo,[ k1, k2tog, yo,] k1 which by my calculation will use 7 stitches. I guess that would be called mirroring? October 28, 2016 @ Not all patterns follow these guidelines, but most do. 6:45 pm. 9:15 am. marnen August 1, 2016 @ Im not sure what I should doin those squares. March 26, 2018 @ So now I know what NO STITCH means. Origins. As with anything in knitting, these instructions are not set in stone. Holly Belian does that mean work the chart up to row 18 and if it doesnt measure the 18 inches by then do I go back down to row 3 and work my way up the chart until the piece measures its 18 inches ?

March 27, 2018 @ September 11, 2020 @ 12:32 am. July 13, 2016 @ 8:50 am, Hi Glenda Ive not seen this kind of convention before, but it sounds like the chart repeat is the section from stitches 20 through 70. 10:05 am, Hi Susan just ignore them completely, they are usually there to make the chart repeat or motif more clear, Penny Ive only read lace charts that had RS rows and just started one which had both RS and WS rows on the chart Now know that I shouldve been reading the WS row from left to right. The first line of the chart is numbered 1 on the left, line 2 on the right. If the chart shows BOTH right side and wrong side rows, you will work the RS rows from RIGHT to LEFT, and the WS rows from LEFT to RIGHT. Thanks ~ Emily, Pat Daigle Thanks, alexaludeman July 27, 2016 @ And I also know that knitting patterns do not knit up exactly square. U must be a YO (perhaps U with the 2 in it is a double yarn over), and downward facing Vs are decreases (numbers in the arms of the V indicate the number of stitches to be decreased). The one is the bottom row on the right and the 3 is on the second bottom row on the left. When knitting in the round charts are always read from right to left. Therefore I do not know if I am working all the rows right to left or some left to right. I have also knitted a lace scarf, so I have some experience. Each row has a filled in color for the pattern (dishcloth will look embossed when finished as so many do). This will sound goofy, and Im a very experienced knitter, but now Im working on a charted piece that ends up with a V shaped bottom. The YOs make an extra stitch, but the k2tog and ssk should take one each away, so why am I ending up with 14 stitches? October 30, 2015 @ But its easy because its a communal language!!!! October 12, 2018 @ There are more stitches on the needle than a row on the chart. Kathryn a dot in the box is a purled stitch; and A V in the box means to sl 1 wyb on the rs; and sl wyf on the wrong side. 7: another empty box meaning NO STITCH ! Tweet. February 25, 2015 @ Craft Yarn Council However, I did find some darling dinosaur patterns under perler bead patternss that were just right. 3:26 pm, Hi I am knitting Kits Kerchief and on line 1 of Chart B I am suppose to do a k1-yo-ktbl. But every designer choses their own chart conventions, so theres no way for me to know 100% how your specific chart is meant to be read without seeing it. Then work rows 1-26 of cable chart 20 times. The more I stare at this the more confused I get. 5:00 pm, This chart so clear. July 30, 2016 @ The text is in Russian but the illustrations are helpful in deciphering certain symbols! I read a chart from left to right. Hi Kate The step ins represent the number of sts that actually exist at that point, so you can just keep following the chart exactly as before, stitch by stitch. This is the other symbol: \V also across 2 stitches and once again it looks like the V is underlined. As I find more of these charts I will keep adding them to this post! As I find more of these charts I will keep adding them to this post! Could you give me a little advice on this?

You can just totally ignore them. Abby I JUST CANT FIGURE OUT HOW MANY TO CAST ON To work the wrong side rows, follow the instructions given in the text or chart notes. No 98578-9N. Usually you would want to start at the bottom right and go right to left. 12:47 am, I am new at charts and I have finished working the rows 1-24 of chart b of the rosebud shawl for the first time and I am starting on the second time. So my question is how many stitches am I suppose to have when I complete this stitch. The particular pattern I wanted to swatch seemed simple but I cant even get through the first rows before my stitches are misaligned.
