Two Types of Patterns: Written Form and Chart Form

Home » Arts & Crafts » Knitting Patterns » Two Types of Patterns: Written Form and Chart Form

Knitting patterns are either in written form or chart form. A written knitting pattern simply tells you what to do with the stitches in each row. A chart will give you a picture of each stitch. In general, more complicated patterns are in chart form and simple patterns are in written form, but that is not a hard and fast rule.
