I want to translate a pattern I’m about to start into a chart, but I don’t know what all the common abbreviations/symbols for things are. Where could I find a chart or pictionary of them?
The stitches I need are typical K, P, K2tog, SSK, CF and CB, and possibly some P2tog or tbl, etc.
Thanks, those are a great start. That’s actually what I came up with when I googled for it earlier. I guess it’s just the purling through the back loop I’m missing…but I rechecked my pattern and I’m not even sure I need it.
I’m looking more for the symbols so I can chart something out. I think I’ve got it all covered now except for cables :??: Should the cable symbol take up five squares if it’s a five stitch cable? Or should it just be the one…and which way do I know how to slant it? hehehe…it might be easier to just wright “CF5” in the middle of my chart.
Yeah, if it’s 5 stitches, it should cover 5 squares. RE: slant, I don’t know…my brain’s not working well enough to figure it out! LOL–I totally WOULD write CF5!!
ETA: Whoa–that is a totally cool site! Bookmarking…now!
