Knitting Terms - Sometimes knitting patterns seem like they’re written in a secret language. Do you know exactly what every term or abbreviation means? For anyone who could use it, we’ve put together a list of all the standard knitting terms!
When you’re about to knit a sweater, a knitting pattern tells you how to get started. A chart contains symbols, and the written pattern often uses abbreviations. We’ve compiled these abbreviations into a handy overview. This makes that “confusing description” a lot clearer. It’s perfect if you’re a beginner and want to get the hang of knitting.
