Working With My Patterns:
How to read My patterns: (most are in the color symbol style now)
The design is shown in chart form. Each colored slash or Box with color & symbol (Depending on the type of pattern you recieve) on the chart represents one stitch or knot.
The Pattern has Black and gray lines. The gray represent individual canvas lines, the black lines outline a 10x10 grid area. Starting at the bottom left , work across in rows from left to right ( if you've done latch hooking before and have another way of doing it by all means do whats comfortable for you). Complete one row at a time, or a 10X10 grid area insead using yam colors corresponding with the pattern color code.
The Graph N Latch canvas has been woven with a blue grid line every 10 lines, to insure ease in hooking & Pattern allignment (because the latch and graph lines don't always start or end where I want them to I remark the canvas for each pattern to match my pattern) Left to right stay between the lines, Top to Bottom each line including my marked top and bottom lines recieve knots.
I mark the top of the canvas, and the bottom left as the start point (your choice though).
A color & symbol key accompanies each pattern chart. This key indicates the color & symbol of yarn to use for each knot on the chart.
A few of the more cmplicated patterns are still in the slash style but most have been converted to color & symbol. |
