# How to read knitting diagrams

A knitting diagram consists of squares. 1 square = 1 stitch - the symbol definition provide information on how the stitch is worked. The diagram shows all stitches seen from the right side (unless otherwise specified).

**A diagram looks like this:**

![](/img/school/lessons/68-1.jpg)

1. A.1 is the name of the diagram, and refer to the entire diagram.
2. A.2 is only the part of the diagram within the square brackets.
3. This number refers to the number of stitches on the 1st row of the diagram.
4. This is the symbol definition: it explains how each stitch is worked, or in what colour (in multicoloured patterns).

You read a knitting diagram completely opposite to how you would normally read: from right to left, from bottom to top. In other words: you start with the symbol in the bottom right corner, and work your way leftwards and upwards (see RED in diagram below). If you are supposed to start at a different point/with a different stitch, will this be specified - for example: the different sizes can start at different places in the same diagram (see BLUE box below).

![](/img/school/lessons/68-2.jpg)

If you are supposed to work several repeats of a diagram (ie: work the same diagram several times in width) you’ll work until the end of the diagram row, and start again with the first stitch for the next repeat.

### Back and forth:

When working back and forth, every other row will be worked from the right side and every other row will be worked from the wrong side. Since the diagram shows all stitches seen from the right side, you’ll have to work it in opposite way when working from the wrong side (see BLUE arrows in diagram below): you read the row from left to right, knit stitches are purled, and purl stitches are knit etc (this will often be specified in symbol definition: “knit from right side, purl from wrong side”).

![](/img/school/lessons/68-3.jpg)

### In the round:

When working in the round all rounds are worked from the right side, and the diagram is read solely from right to left. When starting a new round, simply start working the first symbol on the next row in diagram.

![](/img/school/lessons/68-4.jpg)

### Several different diagrams worked consecutively on the row/round:

If you’re working several different diagrams after each other on the same row/round, work as follows: Work 1st row in diagram 1, continue with 1st row in diagram 2, then 1st row in diagram 3 etc. REMEMBER: if you’re working back and forth, the diagram will have to be worked in the opposite order from the wrong side - ie: start with diagram 3, then diagram 2 and lastly diagram 1. They are also worked in opposite way as usual.

![](/img/school/lessons/68-5.jpg)

In the pattern this can be written as follows: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 1-1-2-3-4 times”. This means that you first work A.1, then A.2 and finally you repeat A.3 a total of 1-1-2-3-4 times (depending on your size). It is ONLY A.3 that is repeated, A.1 and A.2 are worked 1 time each.

### When stitch count doesn’t match whole repeats of diagram:

Sometimes the stitch count is not divisible with full/whole repeats of the diagram in width. For example: A.1 covers 12 stitches and is to be repeated over 40 stitches. In this case you will work 3 full repeats of A.1 (=36 stitches), and then work the first 4 stitches in the diagram over the remaining stitches (see RED line below). This is usually the case where the diagram is a repetitive pattern, so that regardless of working full repeats, the pattern will still be consistent.

**DROPS Design answered:**

Dear Tim, you will work following the diagram A.1 a total of 19 times (6 stitches in each A.1 x 19 repeats in the round = 114 sts); increase in each A.1 just as shown in diagram so that you get 16 sts in each A.1 when diagram is done, so that you have 16 stitches in each A.1 x 19 repeats in the round = 304 stitches. Happy knitting!

Hi, I am working the Snow Baby pattern and have just started the jacket. For some reason I’m not figuring out the M.1 pattern. I keep increasing with every yo row. On the 4th row it says to knit 2 together 3x -yo 6 times- knit 2 together 3x. By the next row I have added a ton of stitches…. What am I missing? Don’t the two actions cancel each other out? Can you help me on this? Thank you!!

24.08.2024 - 06:19

**DROPS Design answered:**

Dear Anna,
in the first row of M.1, since you work the charts from the bottom up, you have 6 decreases and 6 yarn overs/increases, so they should be cancelling each other out. The number of stitches remains the same, as you can see on the next rows, rows 2 to 4, working upwards. Check as you work M.1 each time in the row to see if you have worked all necessary decreases and increases each time. Happy knitting!

I'm looking to knit pattern Diamond Delight no. 196-15.
On reaching the end of neck edge with 88 stitches on needle. I then get to yoke but am stuck when it says work A1 in the round (=22 repetitions of 4 stitches). I don't understand this. Continue with A1 once worked I should have 264 stitches - how is that when it doesn't say increase anywhere?
Can you explain this please

21.08.2024 - 19:24

**DROPS Design answered:**

Dear Yvonne, read diagrams from bottom up, so that you start working A.1 over 4 sts (increasing 1 st on first round in each A.1) a total of 22 times in the round (22 times 4 sts = 88 sts), at the end of first round you get 5 sts in each A.1 (22x5=110 sts); continue working A.1 increasing as shown in diagram; when all increases are done you get 12 sts in each A.1 x 22 repeats = 264 sts; continue diagram as shown to the end. Happy knitting!

I would like to knit the Running Circle cardigan. As I read it, A.1 and A.2 charts are for the button/buttonhole bands. I am assuming that the swiggly line on row 8 is indicating a button hole row. However, I do not see any instructions on how to make a button hole here. Can you help me?

11.08.2024 - 22:27

**DROPS Design answered:**

Dear Lore,
in the pattern it explains that you don't work buttonholes. In the SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE, it indicates: "Buttonholes are not worked, as the buttons are buttoned in the lace pattern on the band." There is no "swiggly line"; it's actually a sequence of yarn over + k2tog. You can see in the picture that you will have 3 yarn overs in specific rows of the lace pattern, through which you will be able to pass a button. Happy knitting!

I need some help with your knit cloth with lace pattern in Paris pattern w-486 . Are the 3 chart diagrams worked together over the 17 sts and repeated? What happens with A.1B where you say work over the next 24 sts? As there are 8 sts in A.1B does this mean to repeat 3 times for the whole chart. Are all rows read from left to right? All wrong side rows are purl? Do you knit 3 sts at the beginning and end of all right side rows? That's so much for any help on this?

06.08.2024 - 13:34

**DROPS Design answered:**

Dear Mrs Hartley, you should only repeat A.1B part, this means work from RS: 3 sts in garter stitch, A.1A (-= 4 times), repeat A.1B until 8 sts remain (see number of repeats depending on number of sts), work the 5 last stitches A.1C and finish with 3 sts in garter stitch; from WS knit 3, purl until 3 sts remain and knit 3. Happy knitting!

Bonjour Mme Guillotin, le diagramme A.1 se tricote sur 1 maille (pour permettre au motif d'être symétrique), ainsi, vous allez simplement tricoter cette maille comme indiqué dans le diagramme A.1.. Bon tricot!

Las líneas de los diagramas muestran solo el derecho o muestran en una línea lado derecho y la línea siguiente lado izquierdo del tejido?

28.06.2024 - 04:51

**DROPS Design answered:**

Hola Carmen,
a no ser de que se indique lo contrario en el texto muestra todas las filas del patrón (tanto por el lado derecho como por el lado revés) vistas por el lado derecho. Por lo tanto, las filas por el lado revés se leen en la dirección contraria y los símbolos también pueden tener significados opuestos. Por ejemplo, en las abreviaturas del diagrama te dirán: Trabajar de derecho por el lado derecho, de revés por el lado revés. Por lo tanto, según en qué fila esté el símbolo se trabaja de una u otra forma.

Hei Lotte.
Er det Little Missy genser eller Little Missy jakke du strikker? Vi skal hjelpe deg så godt vi kan, men fint om du kan opplyse hvilken str strikker du (slik at vi kan se hvilket diagam du skal følge). Hvor i diagrammet er du / hvilken rad? Om du følger økningene i diagrammet, så skal det stemme. Bruk maskemarkører mellom hver rapport av diagrammet, så har du en bedre oversikt. mvh DROPS Design
