Wine Legs Nov 2016 9:23pm, 9 Nov 2016 4,096 posts	0 Wine Legs QQ...I am going to attempt my first pattern from a chart. How do you read knitting charts? Bottom to top (because the rows are numbered that way) Right to left? (Because the numbers are up the right hand side of the chart)

HellsBells Nov 2016 9:27pm, 9 Nov 2016 21,674 posts	0 HellsBells Are you knitting flat or in the round? Flat the chart reads right to left on RS rows and left to right on WS In the round each row is right to left Lace charts where the WS rows are simply purled often only show the RS rows

To disciver that it was April when I last clicked the needles on them. Luckily I haven't forgotten how to knit.
