Charts Made Simple—Understanding Knitting Charts Visually teaches knitters how to read charts—and, better yet, how to make the most of them:
-
to see that a chart is a picture of knitted fabric
-
to make sense of the symbols in a chart without being tied to its key
-
to use charts as guides for minimizing and recovering from mistakes
-
to handle chart quirks—"no stitch" symbols, repeated stitches, changes in stitch count, and more—with ease
JC finds charts irresistible, sometimes spending hours charting out new stitch patterns rather than knitting. Even more rewarding is getting other knitters hooked on charts at the worships she teaches around the country. Find her online at jcbriar.com.
