different people draw charts differently,
and what meant a treble stitch before
may mean a half treble now. It will also
contain special information needed to
make sense of the chart.
You read a crochet chart from bottom
to top when worked in rows, or from
the inside out when working in rounds.
Rows are worked from right to left first,
then left to right, continuing as set
unless otherwise stated, while rounds
are worked anti-clockwise, as you would
crochet them. Small numbers with arrows
signify where each Rnd starts – helpful for
making sense of more complex charts,
while also giving a clue of where to fasten
off and join in colours. If there’s a jump
between where you end the row and
where you start the next, there’s a good
chance that the colour has changed –
sometimes this is signified in the colouring
of the chart, sometimes not!
