Knitting confirmation..........

LouAnna

When following a graph you read it right to left, right?

In the past I've read them left to right then I read somewhere that the graphs should
be read the other way.   

Has anyone seen them read back and forth and do they write them in this order?

Thanks!

Knitting is sure a hard thing to understand when you start.  Its very hard for some of us (it sure was for me)

i have seen patterns that you read to back and forth but then it is stated very clearly on the graph- I let myself be guided by the pattern details- if there is no instructions on there I would be lost!

It doesn't say and since I've started reading it left to right I will continue.  It's a tension check at the moment anyway!

In all the graphs I've used, (unless the pattern states otherwise) they are read usually from the bottom, right to left, and then left to right. Usually they indicate which side is the right side.  If you don't reverse, you might wind up with very strange results, for often patterns are NOT symmetrical!
I am a very experienced knitter, so I have no doubts about this!
Hope that helps!

I'll read the forward and see what it says........ right now it just states follow the pattern but the numbers are listed as 1........................., then ...............................2, and from then on only the even numbers are written.    Confusing, usually I follow just written directions not graphed.

I read the instructions, back and forth, depends on ws or rs of knitting.      Thanks everyone!

Here is a nice little guide that explains the fundamentals of reading graphic charts for knitwear. I think its rather useful to refer back to from time to time, although I think some graphs are constructed better than others ;P




& I have also added the above pages in pdf format if you wish to download and keep it with your graphic chart patterns as a handy reference :)
