The written pattern

How the rows are written, and copying them.

• Runs of a stitch are counted (k3, sl2 wyib) and repeated groups bracketed ((yo, k1) 3 times).
• Each row’s repeat is found for you (*k2, p2; rep from * to end), or taken from the repeat box.
• Colour letters (k2 B) are added in colourwork, and the stitch count when it changes.
• Rows changed by your last edit flash.
• Copy puts the whole pattern, with the key to abbreviations, on the clipboard.

To go the other way, Import › Written pattern reads pasted rows into a chart. See Files.
