Once you decide exactly what you want knit - a Sweater for a child or a scarf to keep you warm in the winter - the first thing to do is find a pattern.For knitters, the pattern is like a map for an explorer.It is a guide that helps you follow the design, the measurement, which explains which irons and points are needed.But for a beginner, it will look like confusing code.However, by learning terms and abbreviations, you too will be comfortable when you have to interpret a knitting pattern and you will be able to create anything you like.

  1. Step 1 Scegli un filato
    similar to that recommended by the scheme.Always buy enough so you can get a test model too.If you need it later, you risk purchasing a bath in a slightly different color due to manufacturing variations, even if it is the same count and color.
  2. Step 2 Scegli i ferri seguendo le istruzioni.
    Knitting needle sizes range from thin (1) to thick (8.5) and your chart will tell you the size, even if it's just a recommendation.In reality, the test pattern will tell you if you need larger needles than those recommended.This is why it is always better to keep your irons, which can last a lifetime.Ultimately, if you knit a lot you will end up with a good set of needles in various sizes.
  3. Step 3 Fai il campione prima di iniziare a lavorare per assicurarti di aver scelto la misura di ferri e il filato adatto.
    In the pattern, you will be given a number of stitches and rounds to make to obtain a model, usually 10x10.The pattern usually also specifies what type of stitch to use (usually the same as the project).This is especially important to ensure that the finished product is the right size.
    • It is advisable to use the number of stitches suggested by the pattern to make the model, plus six extra stitches, so as to have a smooth edge. tie of three links.This way the model will not crumple and will have a frame around the area to be measured.Some knitting enthusiasts make different samples.
    • Pay specific attention to whether the measurements refer to washed, unwashed or returned fabric.Some yarns can change dramatically once washed.Wash the sample with the same method you intend to use for the finished work.
  4. Step 4 Misura il campione con un metro.
    Hold it in place on a flat surface with pins, do not stretch it.The area between the garter edges should be 10x10.There should be no need to count the stitches since you did this to get them on the needle.If you made a sample differently, remember that the stockinette stitches look like little v's.Count the v's horizontally for stitches and the v's vertically for rounds.
    • If your pattern size doesn't match your specific pattern, you'll probably need to try a different size needle.If you need more stitches or rounds per inch, use smaller needles.If you need to make less, bigger irons.Every time you try out a new pair of irons, make a new sample to test them.You can also change the pattern by varying the yarn (thinner will require more stitches or turns, thicker fewer) but this is usually inconvenient and shouldn't be necessary if you buy a yarn similar to the one recommended.
    • This step can be skipped if you are making a scarf or blanket.
  5. Step 5 Segui le istruzioni giro per giro.
    Better to check at the end of each row.It is also a good idea to underline the turn you are making with a ruler, so that your eyes don't make mistakes.This is especially important when you start adding colors or make a design that requires exact counting.
  6. Step 6 Ogni punto ha una lettera o una sigla che lo definisce, seguito da un punto che indica quante maglie servono per realizzarlo.
    The R stands for reverse, D for straight.If your pattern reads First Round:5R, 5D, you should work purl five stitches followed by five knit stitches on the first row.Learning your forehand and backhand will allow you to make more complex patterns.These two points are the basis of many schemes.Read the next section to learn other commonly used abbreviations.
  7. Step 7 Ripeti le istruzioni comprese fra asterischi, parentesi o quando viene scritto "X volte".
    • Example 1: *1R, 1D involves knitting and purling several times until you run out of stitches on the needle.It could also be written like this: [1R, 1R]2x
    • Example 2: 2R, * 8r, 4d, rep.from * i.e. two purl stitches, eight purl stitches and four straight stitches and repeat from here, i.e. from eight purls, until the end of the row.
  8. Step 8 Usa la chiave corrispondente per interpretare le istruzioni del tuo schema.
    The instructions will explain what each symbol means.These symbols are different from diagram to diagram so don't worry, practically each one will provide a legend for the symbols and abbreviations to help you understand them.

  1. 1
    • cc - contrasting colors;if you work with multiple colors you can find cc1, cc2, etc.
    • m1 - make 1 point;it is used in increases
    • cp - main color
    • ld - straight side, the one people will see
    • sc.- slip a point
    • Mr - stockinette stitch:one row knit, one row purl and so on (or, if you're working in the round, every row knit)
    • 2m - knit two stitches together;in other words put the needle through two stitches instead of one and work them together creating a single stitch, it is used for decreases
    • ls - left side;the internal one, which will not be seen
    • gg - thrown;it is used to make increases when you have lace motifs

Advice

  • If you're learning, start with something easy.Many patterns specify the difficulty level of the project.Read some manuals.Some have simpler instructions than others.If you try a difficult pattern at first you might get discouraged and give up.Start with something small and you'll get better as you go.Knitting requires patience.
  • Use a plain yarn for your first project, so you can see the stitches clearly.Wait until you've done a couple of things before using furry, lurex, or very dark colored ones.
  • Buy a crochet.If you drop a stitch you can hook it up and work it back up to the needle to put it on again.
  • If you use a chart, buy a metal board with magnetic strips (at stationery stores).You can place the pattern on the board and place a stripe under the loop you are following.This way you will keep track of it and concentrate without making mistakes.Post-its and highlighters are also good for this purpose.
  • The wool shop usually provides instructions and answers, therefore you ask.If you don't understand the instructions and there is someone who can explain them to you, don't leave until you understand exactly what you need to do.You might even find a knitting group that meets once a week.It's great for learning and making new friends.
  • The measurement of the finished product is sometimes referred to as "after indentation." Re-entry is a technique for reshaping fabric usually after washing it.For example, many sweaters are retracted by placing them on a surface and patting them into place while they are still damp, then leaving them to dry.
  • Laws carefully to understand the instructions before starting.See if there are any stitch or stitch changes.Consider color changes.Count the points every now and then to make sure you haven't added or lost any inadvertently (or, if there are increases and decreases, that you're doing them correctly).A lap counter can also help -- if you don't have one you can write them down on a piece of paper.
  • If you have patterns in multiple sizes, use a highlighter (a different color for each size) for the one you choose.This way it will be easier to follow the pattern changes and you will not spend time scrolling through the lines to find the stitch you lost.
