Crochet Pop Up Pillow Chart
Crochet charts may seem a little intimidating at first, but once you understand how they work, they can be an invaluable tool for following and creating patterns. Here are some recommendations for reading crochet charts:
Understanding Symbols : Each type of crochet stitch has a corresponding symbol on a chart. It is important to familiarize yourself with these symbols before you begin. For example, a small circle usually represents a low point, while a ‘T’ with a bar through it represents a high point. The pattern legend or key should provide you with a list of these symbols and their meaning.
Reading Direction : Crochet charts are read from bottom to top. If you are working in rows, the first row is read from right to left, the second from left to right, and so on, alternating the direction in each row. If you are working on the round, read the graph counterclockwise.
Starting Chains : The starting chains (usually represented by small ovals) in each row or round are essential for getting the correct height to start your new stitch. Make sure you count how many chains you need to make at the beginning.
Repetitions : In many charts, you will see parentheses or square brackets around a group of symbols. This indicates that you must repeat that set of points a certain number of times.
Connections and Unions : Lines connecting different points usually indicate where the points join. For example, a double crochet that joins another double crochet on the previous row is drawn with a line connecting the double crochet symbol with the symbol on the previous row.
Practice : As with any other skill, practice is key to reading crochet charts. Start with simpler patterns and gradually progress to more complicated charts.
Use Available Help : Fortunately, there are many resources available in books and online to help you understand crochet charts. Don’t hesitate to seek help if you are having difficulties.
Remember: Crochet charts are designed to simplify the process of following a pattern, but everyone has their own learning style.
