Knitting pattern

For example, a pattern's start and end may be described in text and a repeated design as a chart.

Each knitting pattern typically provides its own abbreviations and symbol keys or refers to a standard.

Text patterns typically provide sequential instructions to be followed and may also include helpful advice.

Chart patterns provide visual feedback on the relative position of stitches.
