Crochet patterns mainly come in three forms, written, video and charts. As a crocheter you may have come across a pattern in form of a crochet charts also known as diagrams or symbol. Crochet charts are now being used more frequently by designers and sometimes to accompany a written pattern or a video tutorial.
The advantage of crochet symbols is that they provide a visual representation of how your project is going to look like when complete. Another advantage is that you can adapt a crochet chart and turn it into you own individual design. Once you have mastered the crochet charts, the possibilities are endless and you will not miss out on another pattern. There hundreds of crochet symbols but here are the most commonly used symbols.
So now that we have the diagrams sorted lets practice on a project. Pick up your hook and yarn, you can use any size. Below is the sample of a crochet chart I made using Stitchworks.
You can use this pattern to make a scarf, blanket, top or any project you desire.
The pattern works in multiples of four, to increase the width of your project, make a chain in multiples of four plus 2.
Notes
- This pattern is worked flat
- Turning chain counts as a stitch
- Each colour represents a new row
- The total number of stitches is indicated at the end of each row in brackets
