I am 75 and just started knitting a year ago. You are never too old to learn a new skill and a new language also. Lol. I'm so glad that I found your channel with all the wonderful things you show us. Thank you for sharing with us all.
very happy to hear that Ulrike - especially as my explanations always make sense in my mind but that doesn't mean they do for other, lol! grüße aus münchen ;-) Norman
Thank you for this video! I decided in January to learn how to knit at the age of 75! Where i live it was difficult to find a knitting class. So i went to the library and borrowed a knitting book for beginners and with chopsticks learned how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off! I was able to knit a cap in the round, with a few dropped stitches and also practice knitting making dishcloths. I’m trying to learn to read charts so i can knit with several colors to knit a ski hat! Thanks again for this video on learning to read knitting charts! One day hopefully I’ll be an accomplished knitter! You are an inspiration! Mahalo from Hawaii!
thanks for this. I was terrified of patterns. I then took a class and I realized how easy it was to read a pattern. I am so liberated to knit anything. I love your explanation of it so fabulous.
I'm currently in Japan and rediscovered knitting. My mom taught me back when I was in elementary school for our crafts class, but I haven't really knitted anything since highschool. I went to a hobby shop and decided to get some yarn to make a scarf just so I can get a feel for the craft again. This then escalated to me starting two projects and looking into information on how to knit more complex things, since I never really learned how to knit anything but a straight line. In the shop where I'm getting all my supplies there are a lot of books with patterns, but I didn't want to rush into getting anything without having a better understanding of how to make sense of them. Your videos have been a huge help on my journey and I feel more confident in getting myself a magazine with patterns and challanging myself to my first big project. I wanted to tell you all this, because I'm usually the type to just watch videos and not really comment a lot, however you are making a difference and I wanted to thank you. I'm sure there are many more lurkers like me, so even though it might seem like there are few people who are engaging with your content there are at least 10x more hore are silently appreciative.
I enjoy lace work. I found my very first chart very daunting but here's what I've found after just diving in and deciding that struggling a bit was okay: Every chart has a rhythm to it. For every knit2tog there'll be a yarn over somewhere to fix the balance. This is not just the case for lace charts. Every pattern will have a pattern, so to speak. I recommend: just dive in and find the rhythm to your pattern. It might be a bit hard at first but Norman is right: you'll soon learn the language and you'll be fine creating knitted magic! And don't forget to enjoy the ride!
Norman, can't keep praising you. You're my olive branch, everytime I encounter an issue. For eg: Planned on taking the icelandic sweater pattern, which looked completely Greek and Latin for me. But I really wanted to understand, did lot of dry runs. Was totally unsuccessful. That's when I came back to your video, and as expected there you are explaining and made me realise the ease of going thru the patterns. However, shall comeback once a execute a successful Pattern knitting 🤞
I am finally ready to take the plunge and learn to read a chart. You are a thorough, gifted instructor and I am so glad I found your site. Love the icon too. Jan Murphy
I enjoy your videos so much. You have such a pleasant voice and persona. I’ve been knitting for 17 years, but never tried knitting from a chart or tried any difficult color work because I have always felt like I’m not smart enough. You’ve given me confidence to finally try charted patterns. Thank you so much. I’ve been subscribed for quite some time and find so much value in your videos. You’re one of my favorites.
Thank you for this! My nana taught me how to knit many years ago and have since gotten back into it. Charts were always such a mystery to me so thank you for explaining it so well so I can make more fun patterns!
I’ve just started knitting (beyond knowing only the basic knit stitch for years), and your videos are just wonderful and so encouraging! I’m having lots of fun learning and your videos like this one make me feel like knitting is a very welcoming art. It makes me excited to learn everything I can about it. You have such a terrific energy, my husband was on the couch with me while I worked my first sock along with you, and he said “He’s so kind and calming!” So thank you, I look forward to learning more from you! ❤
Thank you so very much for teaching this skill. I have been a knitter all my life but at 62 I am only now thinking I could learn to read a pattern... how wonderful and exciting. I am happy to subscribe and look forward to more of your videos. God bless you from Vera in Northern Ireland
What a clear, concise, and encouraging explanation you've provided here! I have knit for years, but just recently started challenging myself with larger projects and more complex patterns. I never learned to read a chart (use knittish), so I am brand-new to this. Thank you for helping me learn!
Ok ok!! You have convinced me that I can learn this "chart" language!!! Thank you 😊. I actually printed out a pattern yesterday that is charted to make myself learn it...after all, I know the first language of knitting... K, P, YO !! Thank you for making this tutorial ❤
GREAT VIDEO!!!! I am from Guadalajara, México, and did understand perfectly your point: we need to learn a new "written" language. Thanks so much for the analogies you used, since that made it very easy to understand. LOVE YOU!!!!
This is great, straight forward and concise. I really just needed to understand the process…the right way to read a chart. I am teaching myself how to knit and I get excited about a pattern, want to knit it, then get hung up in the technical aspect of being able to comprehend it. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. ❤
I am francophone and am learning a new language: kniting in english! I have found a nice pattern I would like for this summer. A lot of nice information on your site. Never thought it would be a challenge when I bought the pattern! Hi!Hi! Thank you for the excellent references you provide. Very clear and useful.
This really helps! I found a sweater that I love and want to make but the pattern is charted. I do agree with you that it can be as simple as it was to learn pattern abbreviations for knitting, so I think your tutorial will help me get started. Thank you!!
THANK YOU! I own a knitting book for beginners. It just shows charts but won‘t explain how to read them. I feel like some knitters can‘t think like beginners and forget, that you can‘t just skip some things, when you write stuff for beginners. Your videos are so well explained. Great work!
You are such a great teacher! You always know how to explain things in a variety of ways and always draw out the positives of the subject. Love your channel!
I'm so glad YT gods blessed me with and recommended your videos to me. I'm only on my 3 headband but I'm so excited about what can be made with two needles and yarn. I sew charts and was fascinated by them and wanted to learn to read them, thanks for a clear explanation.
I was 12 years old learned how to knit through TH-cam videos and i enjoyed it being able to let my creativity sore with imagination. I also learned how to crochet from friends... years later im an adult who can do both or combine them when creating.
Thank you so much for the simple yet thorough explanation. I've been trying to convince my older mother and aunt to learn charts for knitting and crocheting. I'm brand new to both but realized how important charts are and picked up on it rather quickly.
Hi Norman, you are so excellent! Thanks for sharing your expertise. My mother language is Spanish. I am a colombian. And I can't knit or crochet in spanish. It must be english. I can't manage computers in spanish neither. Yours is my favorite knitting channel, and luckily is in english! ❤
I found you with your video on entrelac knitting. I had worked on an entrelac baby blanket and stopped for several years so naturally I needed a refresher. I have now subscribed to your videos. Thank you.
My highest compliment: when I have a technical problem or want to review something like chat reading, even though I knit so called "english" - you continental but you know what you are a great teacher, Good for visual and language based learners. Learning a lace or cable pattern for me is like practicing a piece of music: yes I must read it then I must practice - lots of uses for that gauge swatch,,,,aka "practice".....thank you for your wonderful videos.
I love your channel! This is the best video I have seen to make this easier for me 😃I have been afraid to try them although I have no trouble with crochet charts . I lived in Germany for several years when I was child and your english is beautiful! Please never stop
Just checked out your website and it's a godsend. I was totally bamboozled by the instruction to 'repeat in pattern' but you've given me hope that I can actually do this project! Thank you for your clear instructions.
Thank-you, Norman. Another advantage of these charts is that they are international: once you realise which symbol indicates which stitch, it doesn't matter what (vocal) languages you speak. Knittish: I like that.
Enjoyed your explanation of why knitting symbols and charts are like a language. I find seeing the pattern on a knitting chart gives a more spatial view of any repeated groups of stitches and how large they are. Good explanation, slow enough for beginners, detailed enough for more experienced knitters. Nice one.
Norman, thank you so much for this video. I am an advanced beginner and want to take my knitting to the next level. My first step of learning something new is digesting all of the info I can get before I start. This is a great beginning to my next step in my knitting journey.
Thank you very much for this video, Norman, especially the insight of treating charts like a language. I found a beautiful lace pattern for a shawl. Only charts were given. Like you with the shawl for your mother, I really wanted to make this shawl but the charts were daunting. Thanks to your instructions in this video, I was able to begin successfully last night. 2 charts down and multiples of the last 2 charts to continue. Thank you! ❤
Excellent! I am a beginner and want to knit my first hat for my daughter so I am going to get your chart right away. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing your vast knowledge with us.
Thank you again for another informative video! Charts gave me anxiety but when you said the right leaning slash meant K2tog because it's a right leaning decrease, I got it! Sometimes it's the smallest little thing that makes it all go together. Thank you! I am learning so much from your videos!
yeah..i know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you need just a word so you can finally conect the dots. Happy to hear that I could help you a little bit on your knitting journey, Teresa!
Thank you , Norman! I have been knitting for years but in the last year or so been knitting more. I’m starting my first project with a chart and have been nervous,hesitant and definitely confused about reading the chart! I’m knitting the Pressed Flowers shawl by Amy Christoffers and was mostly confused by the whole knit on the right side purl on the wrong side thing even though it’s the same symbol. You’ve cleared that up for me. Thank you. 😅
Thanks for this video. I've wanted to make a dahlia jumper by le knit for a long time however I wasn't sure if I would be able to follow the chart. I will now give it a go.
Thanks for your channel! I’ve learn so much from you. Can you explain when the chart has the symbol for “No stitch”. I’ve watch others explain and I’m hoping you will get thru to me!
Thanks for the explanations! I’m just starting to learn to knit and came across your videos and they are very helpful! A guy in my Schuhplattler group has really big calves and is having a hard time finding the Bavarian calf warmers that fit. I wanted to learn how to make the calf warmers to hopefully make him a pair. I hope I’m not being too ambitious 😅
Definitely. Tho loaferl are quite an ambitious project because a lot of them are very intricate. But if you start with a simple pattern, it's totally doable. You might have to insert a calf gusset, tho. 🙈
Hi Norman, Wow You can write Japanese! I remember when I lived in the United States, when I saw a knitting book, there were only text and there were no charts at all… I was wondering how these people can knit by text only instructions 😳 In Japan, most instruction books are mainly charts and rarely explained only with letters. It’s good to learn and understand both text only and chart. 😊

Hi Norman, I enjoy your videos immensely! Thank you for all the time and trouble you put into your videos, I love your style of explanation!
I love your comment !
Gle mhath 🤗 well done I'm on 12th language
I’m 82 and it takes me awhile to get the hang of it, but you are an excellent teacher! TY
The transformation from writing the stitches to the chart was really a „Aha moment „😊 You are a very good teacher.👍
very happy to hear that Ulrike - especially as my explanations always make sense in my mind but that doesn't mean they do for other, lol!

I've been watching your videos for years, but really had to dive back in time to find the knit chart video:) Such a helpful tool!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to explain this! You are a natural born teacher and communicator! Wishing you all the best!
Your channel is “by far” excellent. You literally explain exactly what is needed, even for a novice knitter. I just had to subscribe. 😀👍🏼
So happy to hear that. Thank a lot & welcome to my channel ☺️☺️

This is brilliant! 'Knittish' as a language....reading charts as a language....genius! Thank you!
Heh. Glad to have helped u with your eureka moment 😊😊
Wow! Excellent teacher, so much patience and very clear to explain
Glad it was helpful!
You are the most remarkable human I have ever seen! I just wanted to thank you for your compassion in teaching! ❤
awww..thank you so much!
Norman, can't keep praising you. You're my olive branch, everytime I encounter an issue.

I don't know how many times you have helped me with knitting but thank you so much!
I am finally ready to take the plunge and learn to read a chart. You are a thorough, gifted instructor and I am so glad I found your site. Love the icon too. Jan Murphy
Hey Janice. You will see, after the second or third project it will feel like second nature :) And if not..come back and ask your questions here
I enjoy your videos so much. You have such a pleasant voice and persona.

for Vietnamese, we use UP= Purl, DOWN = Knit. Thank you so much , i learn A LOT from your vids
i just returned from a trip to your beautiful country. Didn't know knitting was a popular hobby there!
Thank you so much! I’ve had numerous persons explain to me how to read a chart. It never made sense till you just explained it.
I’ve just started knitting (beyond knowing only the basic knit stitch for years), and your videos are just wonderful and so encouraging! I’m having lots of fun learning and your videos like this one make me feel like knitting is a very welcoming art. It makes me excited to learn everything I can about it.

I’m loving your videos, have my coffee and just watching away. I’m sure you’re seeing the 👍s. Thanks for making the videos, Norman. Huge fan.
I definitely see the comments 🥰

Your instructions are so clear, ON EVERYTHING!!!! Thank you so much for your videos Norman!!!!!
Aww..thank you marilu😊❤
I just discovered you and I like what I see. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the simple yet thorough explanation. I've been trying to convince my older mother and aunt to learn charts for knitting and crocheting. I'm brand new to both but realized how important charts are and picked up on it rather quickly.
yes, they are so important & you miss out so much without them.
I just found your channel and I appreciate how well you explain concepts and how encouraging you are with us novice knitters. You make me smile!!
Hi Norman, you are so excellent! Thanks for sharing your expertise. My mother language is Spanish. I am a colombian. And I can't knit or crochet in spanish. It must be english. I can't manage computers in spanish neither. Yours is my favorite knitting channel, and luckily is in english! ❤

You are an excellent teacher! You are articulate, knowledgeable and systematic in your presentation! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome, Annie!
omg!
your intro is how I feel!
thank you for understanding and helping!
you're amazing!
You're so welcome! (and hope my video was able to help you a bit) :)
I did not expect to get a semiotics lesson in the middle of a knitting video but I’m here for it ❤
Thanks!
My highest compliment: when I have a technical problem or want to review something like chat reading, even though I knit so called "english" - you continental but you know what you are a great teacher, Good for visual and language based learners. Learning a lace or cable pattern for me is like practicing a piece of music: yes I must read it then I must practice - lots of uses for that gauge swatch,,,,aka "practice".....thank you for your wonderful videos.
Yeah, practice is soo important..and a little bit if patience 🥰
Very clear and thorough.
I love your channel! This is the best video I have seen to make this easier for me 😃I have been afraid to try them although I have no trouble with crochet charts . I lived in Germany for several years when I was child and your english is beautiful! Please never stop
I don't intend to, laurie!
Just checked out your website and it's a godsend. I was totally bamboozled by the instruction to 'repeat in pattern' but you've given me hope that I can actually do this project! Thank you for your clear instructions.
It's my pleasure 😊🧶
Thanks for the pep talk Norman! Now I can also knit a lace shawl for my mother for Xmas
You are an exellent teacher,i love your videos,thank you so much❤
You are a great teacher! Most helpful. Thank you! 🥰
Happy to help!
Thanks Norman! I enjoy your videos and always learn from them.
Thank-you, Norman. Another advantage of these charts is that they are international: once you realise which symbol indicates which stitch, it doesn't matter what (vocal) languages you speak.
Knittish: I like that.
Thank you so much this was so helpful it opened my eyes to see the knitting chart more clearly and not scary 😊
Glad it was helpful, Sylivia.
Enjoyed your explanation of why knitting symbols and charts are like a language. I find seeing the pattern on a knitting chart gives a more spatial view of any repeated groups of stitches and how large they are. Good explanation, slow enough for beginners, detailed enough for more experienced knitters. Nice one.
Glad it was helpful!
I have already said this, but here goes- YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER!!!
heh. I don't mind hearing it again *smirk*
Great explanation thank you God Bless You can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos.
So nice of you, Angela. Happy my videos are helpful :)
Wow something I can make sense of and I have just started my journey.. 👏. Brilliant and thanks 👍
Norman, thank you so much for this video. I am an advanced beginner and want to take my knitting to the next level. My first step of learning something new is digesting all of the info I can get before I start. This is a great beginning to my next step in my knitting journey.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi from Tucson in Arizona. I really like and enjoy your videos. They’re very helpful and very clear. thank you
Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Munich, Germany, Lourdes :)
Thank you for doing this, your explanation makes it very understandable.
Excelente! Thank you from Dominican Republic! ❤️
You are very welcome. I think you are the first to comment from DR! (at least that I can tell :))
I didn't know charts existed. I am clapping!
👏
Thank you very much for this video, Norman, especially the insight of treating charts like a language. I found a beautiful lace pattern for a shawl. Only charts were given.

Thanks to your instructions in this video, I was able to begin successfully last night. 2 charts down and multiples of the last 2 charts to continue. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for giving me the push to try chart knitting, this will be a game changer for my work.
Happy to hear i was able to help you step things up😊❤
You convinced me. I will know longer translate charts to ‘knittish’. I’ll learn the symbols. Thanks Norman!
Give it time Joan. I struggled in the begining as well. I am 100% positive you'll learn it quickly
Thank you for your lovely video, I do enjoy it and learning you share with us.
my pleasure, doreen!
Excellent! I am a beginner and want to knit my first hat for my daughter so I am going to get your chart right away. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing your vast knowledge with us.
You are so welcome!
Thank you again for another informative video! Charts gave me anxiety but when you said the right leaning slash meant K2tog because it's a right leaning decrease, I got it! Sometimes it's the smallest little thing that makes it all go together. Thank you! I am learning so much from your videos!
yeah..i know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you need just a word so you can finally conect the dots. Happy to hear that I could help you a little bit on your knitting journey, Teresa!
Thank you , Norman! I have been knitting for years but in the last year or so been knitting more. I’m starting my first project with a chart and have been nervous,hesitant and definitely confused about reading the chart! I’m knitting the Pressed Flowers shawl by Amy Christoffers and was mostly confused by the whole knit on the right side purl on the wrong side thing even though it’s the same symbol. You’ve cleared that up for me. Thank you. 😅
Love, Love , Love You!!!!!! thank you for all you do!
my pleasure :) :)
Very well explained! Thank you!
Semiotics in knitting charts wow, wonderful - spot on.....wonderful
Love you & Love your work your such a Perfectionist ❤
Thank you, now I have understood the lesson after much research🙏🏻
Thanks for this video. I've wanted to make a dahlia jumper by le knit for a long time however I wasn't sure if I would be able to follow the chart. I will now give it a go.
Such a helpful video! Thanks!
Thanks for clearing this up. I am a knitter who have always steered away from charts.
Glad it was helpful! and hope you'll soon feel a bit more comfortable around charts
Love your lessons!!! You are a fabulous teacher! Thank you so much. Btw I have the same black and white pillows on my sofa! 😃
ha..i don't even know where they are from. pillaged them from the old appartment of my partner
@@NimbleNeedles ikea!!! Lol.
I.had.no.idea, this is hugely useful.
Glad it was helpful, Eva!
Thank you! You clarified so much for me!
Great tutorial - thank you 🙏
This is a brilliant! Thank you!
Thank you for helping me to understand how to read a knitting chart!
my pleasure, Nancy!
wow! best explanation ever! thank you
Glad you think so, yolanda. Really tried to put some thought into this video!
Thanks for your channel! I’ve learn so much from you.
Can you explain when the chart has the symbol for “No stitch”. I’ve watch others explain and I’m hoping you will get thru to me!
no stitch means "skip". So..if it's a repeat go back to the start.
Thank you. You got me started with double pointed needles also
Wonderful! now onward to socks and all those amazing projects!
Thanks for the explanations! I’m just starting to learn to knit and came across your videos and they are very helpful! A guy in my Schuhplattler group has really big calves and is having a hard time finding the Bavarian calf warmers that fit. I wanted to learn how to make the calf warmers to hopefully make him a pair. I hope I’m not being too ambitious 😅
Definitely. Tho loaferl are quite an ambitious project because a lot of them are very intricate. But if you start with a simple pattern, it's totally doable. You might have to insert a calf gusset, tho. 🙈
I really love your video. Thank you so much for your time. Excellent!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the reminder to hit the like.
Thanks for recommending this video. I am going to give it a try.
Hi Norman, Wow You can write Japanese! I remember when I lived in the United States, when I saw a knitting book, there were only text and there were no charts at all… I was wondering how these people can knit by text only instructions 😳 In Japan, most instruction books are mainly charts and rarely explained only with letters. It’s good to learn and understand both text only and chart. 😊
yeah, in what feels a different life I studied japan science. Sadly, I cannot visit that beautiful country right now :(
Love the picture to your left ❤️
