Hi there
I’m new to illusion knitting. My eventual aim is to do the Linux scarf but I think it’s better to start with something a little easier first.:knitting:
I am confused about the 4 row cycle when reading charts.
I understand rows 1 and 3 are knitted across.
I understand row 4 is pearled for the white squares and knitted for the coloured squares.
I don’t understand row 2.
Why do some patterns have row 2 being [B]pearled[/B] for the white squares and [B]knitted[/B] for the coloured squares(e.g. http://ysolda.com/wordpress/skull-illusion-knit-scarf/)
yet other patterns have row 2 being [B]knitted[/B] for the white squares and [B]pearled[/B] for the coloured squares (e.g. http://laurasknits.googlepages.com/heartillusionscarfpattern ).
I’m quite confused. Any help would be fabulous because I’d love to design my own patterns but wouldn’t know what to do for row 2.
