Reading a chart

Which way the rows go, and what the numbers mean.

• Row 1 is at the bottom; you knit upwards.
• Each square shows how the stitch looks from the right side (RS).
• Flat: right-side rows (odd numbers) are read from right to left; wrong-side rows (even) from left to right, working each stitch as its opposite: a knit square is purled on a wrong-side row.
• In the round: every round is read from right to left.
• Row numbers sit on the side each row starts from. Stitch numbers run along the bottom from the right.
• Heavier lines every 10 stitches help you count.

The written pattern does the reading for you, row by row.
