You will be knitting the first 2 sts. I want it in the back. October 21, 2017 @ November 7, 2016 @ Hi Rachael Its hard to say without seeing the pattern, but it looks like you are going to purl all sts and yos except maybe the pattern repeat? I would appreciate your help to explain this chart immensely. Please let me know if your able to help. For round 3, there are two increase sts at either end of the front section, so would I still be knitting 20 sts before I get the lace chart? Carrollton, TX 75007 Emily, Nancy Oetinger July 26, 2019 @ Knitting size L. After doing set up round is where Im confused. Wouldnt straight needles make more sense since one is turning at the end of every row? 6:15 am. There is no further instructions regarding this expanding stitch section anywhere in the pattern. 2:54 pm. August 28, 2015 @ 11:52 am. Hi Lana yep. It means you are going to make 1 stitch in that colour. For next time: if you use the photo and do an image search, you can often find the same pattern on a different site/in a different language. alexaludeman You might want to swatch it though, to make sure its coming out the way you want. Hi Judy If the pattern calls for multiples of 16 + 47 it seems like there will be 47 edge sts, so you would want to stop working the 16 st repeat 47 sts before the end of the row, then work the edge sts. If I do this then the dishcloth will be huge. On rows 29, 43, 67 it seems the bold chart line moves over 1 stitch. The chart shows rows 1-18 and I am currently on chart row 2 and now must work even ? October 27, 2016 @ It is really wonderful what you do for the knitting community. What do I do with the no stitch ? I get that. JoEl 5:24 am. April 10, 2021 @ Crochet Terms in six languages. From: http://www.crochetmemories.com My work doesnt look the same as the pattern photo. 12:30 pm. Have begun Antler Hat pattern. When reading [k3(2),m1] what does the (2) mean?

March 5, 2016 @ What am I missing? Hi Jo Sorry, Im not much help without seeing the actual pattern. To work the row you need a 10 stitch repeat, but once the row is finished you will have an 8 stitch repeat. Possibly there are 6 charted rows but a relief row (like a knit round) in between? Unlike crochet, which uses only one hand to manipulate one live stitch; knitting used the right and left hand to manipulate a multitude of live stitches. December 21, 2021 @ The pattern begins at the left hand side with the instructions moving from left to right. However, I did find some darling dinosaur patterns under perler bead patternss that were just right. When you are knitting in the round, you will read all chart rounds from right to left (in the direction that you knit). January 22, 2015 @ 9:49 am, Hi Susan Im sorry, Im really not sure what the designer intended there, Julie 3:23 pm, Hi Nancy sorry about that, there is an error in the Marshland chart, the second M1 should be one stitch over so there is a knit between the m1s, Nancy 4:35 pm, I have a chart for flat knitting where all row numbers are on the right side of the chart. Im my very confused. 4:53 am. If the pattern is to be worked flat, then you will read the right-side rows from right to left, and the wrong-side rows from left to right (in the opposite direction); in order for the pattern to form as designed. Nicole 3:09 pm, When knitting the lovenote sweater you move the marker on the 5th row. And Im sure many many people are enjoying your instruction. I am reading from left to right on each chart on the wrong side row. alexaludeman Rhonda When coming back on the other side you will not go into each of the stitches of the chain but rather grab the yarn under the entire chain x7 or however many is indicated. Sorry if this is a bit convoluted, I guess its difficult to explain without showing the picture of what I mean, alexaludeman The symbol is included in charts so that, visually, the rows of a chart line up one on top of the next in an intelligible way, even when the stitches-per-repeat differ from one row or round to the next.

May 13, 2020 @ October 22, 2017 @ November 9, 2021 @ Hi, Ive knit many items with seemingly complex patterns and Ive always been able to figure them out until now. But I'm sure I will figure it out once I begin knitting. Is it pass slipped sts over? 12:04 pm, Hello this is really helpful but I do have one question: if you are knitting in the round (rather than rows worked back and forth flat) do you work each round in the same direction (ie right to left)? Hi Alexa and Emily Ive never done any colour work and would like to have a go at it. The text is in Russian but the illustrations are helpful in deciphering certain symbols! Laura Maxwell Luz Evans Symbol. I am about to start the Tall Dark and Handsome hat but I dont understand how the chart applies when knitting in the round? Should I just switch the numbers on the pattern with 1,3,5 being on the left and 2, 4, 6 on the right? January 23, 2022 @ Does this mean that I should decrease stitches or cast off to form those triangles? Hi Rosie your pattern should have instructions on the issue. 12:05 pm. 8:39 am, Im knitting lace hat in the round using a chart. The row indicates the number of sts you will have when it is complete, not the number of sts you need to work that row. The other reason is that when working back and forth on straights with a lot of stitches it can sometimes cause your tension to change near the ends of the rows. Maybe email us with a picture? It has a lace repeat section; no problem there; BUT then there is one vertical row with a red box with a note, expanding stocking stitch section.

Do I knit left to right on line 1 and right to left on line 2? May 8, 2020 @ Because left handed and right handed knitters usually knit the same way (sometimes varying the way they hold the yarn, things like that) knitting patterns and charts are always (as far as I know) written for the one way (knitting moving from right to left). Hi Tess it looks like the lace pattern is symmetrical so you can work it the same way on both halves of the shawl. April 9, 2017 @ 7:09 pm, hi I.m going to start the Love Note ,do I use # 6.00 needle till the bottom rib then switch to 4.50 .thanks, alexaludeman 2. 8:44 am. I feel incredibly stupid. September 9, 2016 @ Could you help? Looking at the chart, it has to be an increase to account for the number of stitches decreasing only by one in rows where there are two decreases, and looking at the knitted sample, it must lean to the right because the left edge of the knitting is not curved. August 10, 2020 @ Or do I increase elsewhere? alexaludeman 12:53 pm. November 10, 2021 @ Mary Lentini 6:34 am, knitting a lace and cable sweater..buttonhole knitting instructions for RS row need instructions for second rowso the border pattern is not distroyed, Joan Horn alexaludeman 6:09 am. There is a 7 stitch repeat over 15 rows. 12:20 pm. I have a pattern that has a chart and the instructions says to do 5 repeats of the chart. April 18, 2021 @ Because the pattern increases over the 37 rows, it starts with a 13-stitch repeat, and ends with full 28-stitch repeat. September 25, 2014 @ This kind of convention is used in charts when the stitch count changes from row to row. Again, always refer to the pattern key for additional symbol variations. Im trying to figure out your example and I only see 7 stitch repeat where you are showing rs and ws, Emily Wessel 8:47 pm, Hi Holly it depends on the pattern, for most of ours there is a plain knit round or a plain purl row for the even rounds/rows, Holly Belian Knit the stitch that was slipped in the previous row together wth its yarn over.

July 14, 2016 @ 9:52 am. Once youve reviewed the key and chart notes, and determined whether all rows are shown, or just the right-side rows, you can get started knitting from the chart. or Do I work row one until the end of the pattern repeat, do as many pattern repeats, and then only at the end will I work the yo, and then end with the K3?
