How to work 4 different chart icons

Keywords: chart, lace, pillow,

In this DROPS video we show how to work 4 different chart icons. We mark the icons pink before knitting/purling. We work 2 stitches in each side in garter stitch. In some patterns, there may be other charts and similar chart icons, but the technique is almost the same.

Chart icon 1: Knit 3 together (= 2 stitches decreased).

Chart icon 2: Between 2 stitches make 2 yarn overs; on the next row (wrong side) purl the first yarn over twisted (i.e. the yarn over towards the middle of the diagram); the second yarn over is purled (i.e. the yarn over towards the side) (= 2 stitches increased).

Chart icon 3: between 2 stitches make 2 yarn overs; on the next row (wrong side) purl the first yarn over (i.e. the yarn over towards the side), the second yarn over is purled twisted (i.e. yarn over towards the middle of the diagram) (= 2 stitches increased).

Chart icon 4: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 2 together and pass the slipped stitch over (= 2 stitches decreased).

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

You must read the pattern with these chart icons to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns using these techniques by clicking on one of the picture below.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Waar moet de vermeerdering gebeuren? Ook in het motief van 58 steken (A.1 )K. Heb 160 steken opgezet. Ik ben net begonnen aan de BOLERO. De teruggaande nld is dat op t motief de rij waar ik alles averecht moet breien (rij 1 gaan,rij 2 terug, rij 3 gaan, rij 4 terug ) is het op die manier?

Dag Desmet,

Ik neem aan dat je de bolero 201-27 aan het breien bent? Er wordt niet gemeerderd in het patroon waar je A.1 breit. Allen bij de rand wordt er gemeerderd. De teruggaande naald brei je inderdaad averecht (behalve over de 5 ribbelsteken aan elke kant).
