Learn those symbols ad you suddenly open a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to crochet patterns.

Easy
Need to learn this
Easier than written instructions for me
Why don’t you take up crochet?
I read this and thought there was a mistake in the beginning of row three. Then I realized I was reading the chart backwards because I am a lefty. It’s a backwards world for us lefties but we prevail and continue to read charts and patterns and create beautiful pieces.
I prefer charts over written instructions, being a visual learner.
Always good to learn something new! Thank you!
Charts are easy to understand it’s written instructions that make no sense to me. Long live the chart.
