Nonetheless, once you get used to reading these charts for Crochet, you will find, as I have, that it does get easier. But it is harder to see how many chains you Crocheted in the previous row. Say, for R7, you just focus on that one sq-row.Īnd on the even rows, it is also easy to see how many slip-stitches you have (made on the previous Knit row). You basically keep your eye along one (odd) row as you knit. When using these charts for Mosaic Knitting, it is very easy. Though I hate to say it, as I prefer crochet over knitting at most times, reading the charts for crochet is much harder than it is for knitting.It can be quite easy to lose/add a stitch on the previous row accidentally. So that might be a good time to count your stitches to make sure your number of stitches are still correct. Every even row is pretty much a repeat/duplicate of the previous row.Please see addendum notes that I have added to the start of this article.Hope this helps. Since then I have added other methods of doing Mosaic Crochet. This is what it should look like at the end of R5:īut really, what is more important that I want to point out to you is that this was my first Mosaic Crochet tutorial. Hi Christine, I am sorry that your brain hurts. Note: When chaining (to prevent puckering) – When you see a white square, you ch (chain). R1: Whenever you see a black square, you sc (single crochet). Starting at the bottom-right of the chart. I am sure you realise that already, right?
Tip: I don’t have to say you can substitute the B/W shown with any colours of your choice, right? And that you can change that duo colour combination at any row. The right-most square of each row of squares on the graph, identifies the colour you will be working with. And each sq-row represents 2 rows (worked in one colour).
As I will shortly explain)Ī Sq-Row is a Row of Squares – representing 2 rows of work.Ī sq-row is a Row of Squares. R2 & all even rows (WS) – read from left to right (But really, you won’t need to read on even rows. R1 & all odd rows (RS) – read from right to left
#Crochet chart tutorial how to
Note: I am going to use a Barbara Walker Mosaic Knitting chart (the same chart used in How to Read Mosaic Knitting Charts), but now we will be crocheting.įoundation Row (not shown on chart): 27 stitches And I really like working off visual charts. I really dislike reading text-only instructions.
And without doubt, knowing how to work off a visual chart is much, much easier than working off rows and rows of text.Īnother significant feature and attraction of Mosaic Knitting and Mosaic Crochet, is that you can work in colours without having to change colours mid-row.
Barbara Walker, the clever lady who first coined the term “Mosaic Knitting” has a whole collection of charted patterns. the equivalent of Mosaic Knitting, in crochet form.īasically that means, one should be able to crochet off a Mosaic Knitting chart. And because there is some confusion, let me be clear here as to what I mean when I say Mosaic Crochet. And I already talked about the confusion over what is mosaic crochet. In Mosaic Knitting vs Mosaic Crochet, I showed you the differences between the two outputs. I have written tutorials on these other MC methods which are very much easier to do and understand. Please note that while this MC (Mosaic Crochet) tutorial is still valid, I would actually strongly recommend other methods of MC.
