How do you read a knitting pattern?

Most patterns come with a legend that explains what symbols and abbreviations mean. The meaning of abbreviations may vary somewhat from one pattern to the next. However, if your pattern has no list of abbreviations or symbols, try using one of the tables linked below. Also be aware that the symbols and terminology varies from country to country.

Most patterns begin at the bottom right edge. Be especially aware of this when knitting from a chart. If the chart is knit left-to-right and top-to-bottom instead of right-to-left and bottom-to-top, the design will appear upside down.
