Hello Everyone, I’m new to this list. Has anyone knitted the free Peace Sign pattern by Margaret Walker? This is my first charted pattern and a few things are confusing. I tried searching this database, but couldn’t find what I needed. Please help!
Items on the chart that are confusing to me:
Is the chart correct?
I assume the wrong side is facing so I knit the purl stitches.
Does the v0 in row 5 mean don’t increase?
What is the B or 8 in row 6?
Do I do the / next to the X in row 7?
Are the blank spaces purl stitches (knit stitches if the chart is right side facing)?
I’m trying to get a copy of one of Barbara Walker’s books to see if something in one of them will help me. Until then, please help me!!
Note: Don’t people who chart patterns know how hard it is for a beginner to read a chart with keys that aren’t helpful? It may be better to eliminate the key and just make the beginner keep trying until they either get it or give up.
I found it and printed it (not very good quality), and to be honest,
I haven’t done it, don’t know if it’s correct
The symbol is knit, the background is rev st st, not really "wrong side."
3… 4 & 5 It’s really hard to tell on my copy what it is they want. You might have to experiment
for the back, I would k the k and p the p.
Maybe someone has tried this and can explain the other things. Kind of odd.
Ingrid - Thanks for the information! I’m not giving up on this one. I love a challenge and I’m not giving up until the fat lady (me) sings.
Feministmama - Thanks for the links! I plan to use them.
I found the Peace sign under the Free Patterns tab above. Please forgive me for not including the link in my previous post. I was frustrated with that chart and started seeing red. Thanks again for your help!
