PDF download - How to read knitting charts

Using knitting charts has much to recommend it, but many knitters shy away from them, preferring written out row by row directions.  However with lace knitting and colourwork in particular it is so much easier to follow charts. Like many designers, I tend to provide both charts and written instructions in my patterns whenever this is practicable, but some lace patterns (and most colourwork patterns) will only provide charts, so learning how to read knitting charts is a valuable skill to add to your knitting ‘toolbox’.

Reading charts is one of those things that is so easy once you know how, and is such a useful skill for knitters to have. This free pdf download includes my top tips for chart reading and provides a handy how to guide for easy reference.
