Have you ever tried to design a knitting chart using commercially available graph paper, only to knit it up and find the proportions are all wrong? This is because knitting stitches are not square but commercially available graph paper is!
If you have an image or a simple image file that you want to turn into a knitting design paper, check out our great tool KnitProPlus. With this tool, you can upload your own picture, select your desired grid size and stitch size and convert your image into your personal intarsia design. Check out KnitProPlus here.
After your first couple of projects in garter stitch and other easy knitting stitch patterns, you finally decided to tackle a more complicated project. Congrats! Yet, now you realize the pattern has no written instructions and you have no idea how to read a knitting chart?
As you proceed along your knitting journey, patterns will get more complicated. Maybe you want to knit a beautiful project in a cable stitch. If you made a mistake, it will be much harder to spot it amidst endless rows of cryptic abbreviations.
In a knitting chart, each little box represents one stitch. It is filled with a symbol. A legend will tell you what this symbol represents. The numbers on the right and the left side will show you the rows, while the numbers on the bottom on top will help you count the stitches.
A chart has a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. A knitting chart has these as well, and instead of the values of a formula, it tries to visualize stitches in a grid line style, where the horizontal axis counts the stitches and the vertical axis the rows you need to know. Is your mind already churning? Wait for a second, please!
And this can be extremely helpful when you need to spot a mistake. Because when you are knitting a complicated pattern, you will sometimes spot a weird-looking stitch a couple of rows further down below your current row. And since the chart displays your knitting pattern 1:1, you simply have to move your finger to the same position in the chart and check if you did a mistake.
But now comes the only truly difficult part: Because the chart depicts the right side, but you are indeed knitting the wrong side, the symbols you previously learned, mean something different in the return row. Most legends will show you how you need to knit them in the return row.
Most complicated knitting increases and decreases are based on knits and purls as well. So, a p2tog leaves behind a purl stitch and a k2tog tbl a knit stitch, and in the return row, you will just knit them the way they appear (in 95% of all cases).
The key to understanding a knitting chart is realizing it is just another language you need to learn. This might sound a bit academic, but please bear with me and let me state the following:
In the times before computers and printable pdfs, knitting designers were forced to use the possibilities of typewriters and letterpresses. And that is actually the reason why most traditional charts use alphanumeric symbols you could find in any other book as abbreviations.
Once you are finished with a row (use a stitch marker), you can move your finger to the row directly above and continue knitting from there. And if you think about it that makes a lot of sense, because these stitches will be directly above each other.
What sets a lot of these patterns apart is that they only chart the right side rows. You can tell that by the fact that there are only odd-numbered rows on the right side of the chart (and it usually says so in the description).
Why the hell would anyone do that? Quite simple. Most of these patterns will knit all stitches the way they appear on the wrong side. The difficult increases and decreases are all on the right side. There are literally just knits and purls on the wrong side. And why inflate the chart with twice as many lines of dots and blanks? It will make it just so much harder to print it, etc.
German patterns will have an entirely different set of abbreviations from Japanese, and that remains a slightly confusing fact. I wish someone had the balls to unite the knitting world one day, but I am not seeing that in my lifetime. lol
Hi there! My name is Norman and I am the face behind the scenes of this knitting blog. My mission is to provide you with in-depth tutorials and free patterns. Find out more about me here. And don't forget to check out my Etsy shop with all my knitting patterns.
I strongly believe that knitting patterns & tutorials should be available to everyone - no matter their income. But if you can afford it, consider becoming a patron to help me put out more content for everyone.
You may also be interested in a recent publication by Vogue Knitting featured at the January VKL 2021: -5454-vogue-knitting-colorwork-paper.aspx The paper is refined to replicate actual stitches in two gauges. The advantages are articulated in the description and images provided on the website link above.
I didn't see that you got a reply thus I'm attaching this link to free dog themed charts and such. The feature dog is (I think) a shepard, but there are a couple of labs that might work for you! -themed-knitti... Good Luck and be brave. I only learned the work Intarsia yesterday but I have been knitting pictures for 55 years!
I used to work at an LYS which also sold needlepoint; we provided finishing services. The answer to the finishing issues is simple: a padded board. A padded board is a thin piece of fiberboard, or heavy cardboard, covered with a very thin wrap of fiber fill. The blocked knitting is stitched (usually by hand if it involves knitting) to a fabric backing on three sides, the board is inserted ,the fourth side is stitched shut, and some sort of hanging device is added. You might want to consider stick on velcro in this case, but for home use, it was usually a pretty twisted cord, or a ribbon.
Wow, game-changer! I have been designing some two-color items using plain old graph paper but this makes the process so much easier (plus, has the special wider-than-tall rectangles instead of squares). Thanks so much for sharing this awesome tool!
Here are some handy free printable knitting tools. (You'll need Acrobat Reader or Mac Preview to open and print).
These are good for a few sheets but any more than that and it gets expensive in printer ink and paper. That's why I made the Tricksy notebooks full of knitting graph paper (also available in lined).
I work with spreadsheets a lot, and have found that they make excellent knitting charts. You can easily insert colors and symbols into each cell to represent a stitch, copy and paste groups of cells to repeat a pattern, and add colored borders to mark pattern repeats. A spreadsheet can be customized for a specific project, saved, and reprinted whenever needed. No more lost patterns. Another benefit to making your own charts is they can be customized to print out big enough to be read comfortably and to include only what you need.
Try creating your own knitting chart using the sample file below. The file is in Excel 2013 format and is set up for 50 stitches by 50 rows, but can easily be made larger or smaller by adding or deleting columns and rows. The sample chart in the picture above is also included in the file.
Have fun with your charts. If you have any questions about using charts, or any other knitting or crochet topics, please send me a note through the Contact Us page, or email me at jill@colornotesyarn.com.
Hi guys, I would like to make quite accurate colorwork but I'm quite lost how to convert image to knitting chart? Do you use some tools or are you just making them all by yourself by hand or what ? I'm trying to use stitchfiddle but found it quite hard to use.
Are you frustrated with charting knitting patterns or drawing knitting designs only to find that when you knit up your project, the proportions are all wrong? Well, then knitting graph paper is for you!
The most common-sized graph paper for knitters is one with a ratio of 4:5. In fact, this ratio means that when you measure your gauge, 4 stitches are the same length as 5 rows. In other words, 4 stitches over 5 rows should give you a square.
There is no doubt that Knitting Graph Paper is useful for many different types of knitting projects. Therefore, here at LKO, we have developed and published several Knitting Graph Books that you can find on Amazon.
This image above shows the same chart with direction of knitting for left handed knitters. Row 1 and all odd numbered rows will be knit LEFT to RIGHT and row 2 and all even numbered rows will be knit right to left.
Thank you, stopped knitting 20 years ago. My knitting is very rusty. As a lefty, I remember I was taught to reverse the patterns. I am now so confused because I forgot everything .
Thank you for reaching out to lefties e24fc04721
