Instructions
Step 1
You should start with the simplest thing - understand the conventions. Sometimes they are attached to the diagram. That is, they are written at the bottom with a decryption. For example, a point is an air loop; a cross is a single crochet; a figure resembling the Latin letter V is single crochet, knitted in one loop of the base, and so on. If, for some reason, the symbols are not indicated after, then they can be found on the Internet or specialized magazines, as well as in books.
Step 2
Crochet patterns are always read from right to left. The first row is read from left to right, the second - again from right to left, and so on. If you are afraid to miss the beginning of knitting and confuse, then mark it with a simple pencil, which can then be easily removed when washing. To find the end of a row, you just need to take a close look at the product. Where there is an air loop at the beginning is the end.
Step 3
Now about the patterns. Repeating patterns are called "rapport" and are usually surrounded by asterisks in patterns. For example: * 3 * - this means that you must repeat the pattern three times, no more, no less.
Step 4
If you still could not figure out the diagram, but you want to associate the thing you like, then it will be easier for you to find its description. Although this kind of explanation for knitting is not very common. The descriptions also have their own conventions. For example: vp - air loop, st./n - double crochet, st. b / n - single crochet, * - rapport boundaries. The description usually goes in rows. (1st row, 2nd row, 3rd row, etc.). It is important here to follow the instructions clearly. Especially when it comes to the beginning and end of the series. Otherwise, if you do not knit all the columns indicated in the description, then the product simply will not work.
Step 5
And finally, when a way of description has been found (diagram or verbal), when all the conventions are learned, and you clearly understand which of the columns we are talking about, feel free to start knitting.
