These stitches are explained <em>row by row<\/em> &#8211; following the table of stitches used &#8211; or with <strong>graphics<\/strong> that contain <strong>symbols<\/strong> and a <strong>legend<\/strong>. Which brings us to the third of the 6 tips for following Katia magazine patterns&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3 | How to read a graph correctly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u00b4s another saying: <em>step by step one goes far<\/em>. Well, with knitting patterns it\u2019s exactly the same. Square by square everything is woven. If you want to know how to read this grid full of symbols, here are some tips to correctly interpret a graph:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each <strong>square<\/strong> on <em>a graph<\/em> corresponds to a <strong>stitch<\/strong> explained in the <em>symbol legend<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Stitches are horizontal and rows vertical<\/li>\n<li>In <em>horizontal<\/em> we have the <strong>stitches<\/strong> and in <em>vertical<\/em> the <strong>rows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Odd rows<\/strong> are read from <em>right<\/em> to left (1, 3, 5 &#8230;), while <strong>even<\/strong> <strong>rounds<\/strong> (2, 4, 6 &#8230;) are read from <em>left<\/em> to right. If you have a look at the graph, you can see that the number of each odd row is located on the right and each even row is on the left of the graph. This way you can easily see where to each row.<\/li>\n<li>What about that <strong>R<\/strong>? The R means you should <strong>repeat<\/strong> everything that is bounded between dashed lines. In our example, we repeat the 10 stitches indicated horizontally and the 16 rows of the graph.<\/li>\n<li>Before and after each R there are stitches to knit at the <strong>beginning and end of the row<\/strong>. In other words, before and after the repetition of stitches indicated by R.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11177\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.katia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EN-blogpost-katia-knitting-pattern-graph.jpg?resize=712%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"712\" height=\"585\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Graphics with letters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The above <strong>chart<\/strong> is the same for all sizes, but you can find charts with different instructions for each size. In this case, <strong>uppercase letters<\/strong> are used (e.g. A, B, C, D, E) to indicate the stitches of the graph that need to be knitted according to each size. <strong>Note<\/strong>: The uppercase letters (A, B, C, D, etc.) do not correspond to sizes with small letters (a), b), c), d) etc.). Sometimes, however, the coincidence could occur that the knit size b) is indicated between B and B in the graph. Always follow what is indicated in the written pattern to know from which letter to which letter of the graph you need knit for each size.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example with different instructions depending on the size. The box in red (between letter D and D) is what we have to follow if we want to knit size b).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11178\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.katia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EN-blogpost-katia-knitting-pattern-graph-letters.jpg?resize=674%2C569&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to read charts with letters\" width=\"674\" height=\"569\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4 | Stitch tension &amp; gauge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <em>tension<\/em> of the yarn, the movements of the needles or the way of knitting changes from one person to another. To avoid future disappointments, we recommend to first make a little square. Invest some time and yarn and knit a sample with the same <strong>needle<\/strong> and <strong>stitch<\/strong> number indicated at the GAUGE section in a pattern. Then count how many stitches and rows equal 10 x 10 cm. If you get <strong>less<\/strong> stitches and rows than indicated in the pattern, you can make another sample <em>with smaller needles<\/em>. On the other hand, if you end up with more stitches and rows than indicated, you can try to make a sample <em>with bigger needles<\/em>. Stick with the needle size that is closest to the 10&#215;10 gauge indicated in the pattern!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to count rows and stitches in a 10&#215;10 square<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Check out the next video!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MRcDOcouIRM\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation<\/strong>: To knit your sample, add 4 or 6 extra stitches to the number of stitches indicated in the 10&#215;10 of the pattern. Also, knit a few more rows than indicated, so you will have enough margin to count full stitches.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5 | What does it mean&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We will walk you through some common terms and written explanations of this pattern. We are going to solve some of the most frequent <strong>questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230; <strong>increasing<\/strong> at each edge (=1 st in from the edges) of every 8th row as follows: 1 st 5 times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means you knit 1 stitch (= <em>edge stitch<\/em>), make 1 increase in the next stitch and continue knitting as indicated in the pattern until you reach the last 2 stitches of the row. Here you increase again and end with 1 stitch in the last stitch (= <em>edge stitch<\/em>). You now have <em>increased on both sides 1 stitch from the edge.<\/em> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>You continue knitting without increasing 7 more rows. On the 8th round you <strong>increase again on both sides<\/strong>, repeating what was explained above. Keep <em>increasing on both sides 1 stitch from the edge every 8 rows<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You repeat this (increase 2 stitches on every 8th round, after the first edge stitch and before the last edge stitch of the round for a total of 5 times. This means you increase a total of 10 stitches (2 increases x 5 times), after knitting 40 rows (every 8 rows x 5 times).<\/p>\n<p>In this <strong>video<\/strong> we show you how to <em>increase stitches<\/em> on both sides, at the beginning and end of the row, on the right side of the piece:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HGgAXGY2Zq4\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does <em>edge stitch<\/em> mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first and last stitch of each row are the <strong>edge stitches<\/strong>.

You cast off 5 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows, in other words, you cast off 5 stitches on both sides 1 time (= 10 stitches total).<\/p>\n<p>Then, you cast off 3 stitches at the beginning of the row (= knit side of the piece) and another 3 stitches at the beginning of the next row (= purl side of the piece). This must be repeated <strong>a total of 3 times<\/strong>. Remember that we bind off on both sides (= start of <strong>row knit<\/strong> side + start of <strong>row purl side<\/strong>) 3 times (= 6 rows ), 3 stitches each time (= 18 stitches total).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you cast off 2 stitches at the beginning of each of the next 2 rows (= <em>knit side + purl side<\/em>).
