the chart says to start at your designated size row and column, but it also says to start at route 1 no matter what. There are 250 stitches in size medium so that’s 125 on the front and back and it’s a 48 stitch chart with the medium starting at stitch 10. Do I knit the chart 10-48 and then restart the same row to stitch 10 and then restart that same row? What about the other 29 stitches? Do I just go as far as I can in that row and then start the row over from stitch 10? What do we thing she meant by route 1?
Welcome to KH!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
Start working the chart at stitch 10, the first stitch for size medium. Continue to stitch 48 then repeat from stitch one through 48. You’ll have to repeat again from stitch 1 to the end of the back sts.
Then begin the front sts with stitch 10 and repeat the same sequence as for the back.
It seems that “route 1” refers to column 1 (stitch 1) of the chart.
There’s also a note to remember to start knit at the correct row of the chart for your size.

Maybe this one
When you follow the chart in the way salmonmac has described the diamond pattern will be centred on the sweater front and again on the sweater back. You can check this visually on your knitting by placing a removable marker or yarn loop at the front centre stitch and when you reach it check you are also at the point of the centre stitch in the chart.
I like to write things out so the symmetry works logically for the way I think
39 - 48 - 38 (total 125)
Stitch 10 to 48 is 39 sts, then the full row is 48 sts, then the remaining 38 stitches are stitch 1 to 38
