Comparing Charts & Swatches

Notice how the stitches mimic the chart symbols in this simple lace pattern.

The chart symbols for cables indicate the direction of the cable twists.

No Stitch

Many stitch patterns, especially lace, involve increases or decreases that cause the stitch count to rise or fall, thereby requiring the number of boxes in a chart to vary from one row to the next. For some patterns, these variations are simply represented by uneven chart edges. For other patterns, adding or subtracting boxes at the edge of a chart may disrupt the vertical stitch alignment in the pattern. In these cases, a special symbol for “no stitch” is used within the borders of the chart so that stitches that are aligned vertically in the knitting are aligned vertically in the chart. The “no stitch” symbol accommodates a “missing” stitch while maintaining the vertical integrity of the pattern. In this book, missing stitches are represented by gray shaded boxes. When you come to a shaded box, simply skip over it and continue to the end of the row as if it doesn’t exist.
