I just found your channel at a time when I really needed this information. Thank you!

I cannot thank you enough this video has totally saved my shawl.

I taught myself to crochet,a couple of years ago ,but for the life of me ,I find the patterns daunting,to say the least . I've just picked up my knitting again, and now that I'm on the Web ,I'm finding its a lot more enjoyable than it used to be. What's more ,i think the patterns are so much easier to understand,than crochet patterns. I prefer crochet charts ,but with knitting ,the written patterns. I refused to use the website, until my husband and daughter twisted my arm ,as they were sick of me asking them to look things up for me. I'm glad I gave in. These tutorials couldn't have come at a better time.Thankyou Barbara xx😊💞

I don’t recognize some of the instructions Here’s an example (I’ll write it from the pattern). Row 3. K6 [2:2:6:2:2:], (yfwd, s1, k1, psso,) 0[1:0:0:1:0] times, Then there are * following. I understand most of what’s written here and I get frustrated when at the end of a row I have too many stitches or not enough. Any suggestions about which of your teaching videos may be most beneficial regarding how I’m getting my count wrong. I’m so glad I found you web site.

Honestly, it depends on the pattern and I cannot give you a definitive answer. It will be different for every pattern depending on how it is designed. Hopefully the designer has accounted for all of the decreases and will have instructed you how to do so.

This was a great help! I think a video showing or describing the knitting terms would also be helpful. I know how to knit and purl now, I can even yarn over, but is slip one just slipping that stitch over to the next needle? And what is ssk? How does one do that? Slip two stitches individually to the next needle and then knit the next one?

YO does not use a stitch at all. Slipping one will use one stitch, and k2tog will use 2 stitches. So in total the repeat is 3 stitches. 3 divides evenly into 30 so you should not have any stitches left over.

Your pattern really should explain how they intend for you to deal with the different notations, anything I will say will be guessing. That said, try not to focus on the fact that they are asterisks, they could most likely just as easily be parentheses. It is just another example of nested repeats as explained in the video.

I understand the abbreviations and the small repeats, but the double asterisk is messing me up. Do you know what it means?

It is a sort of odd way to write it, but what that means is that on your final repeat you won't have enough stitches to finish the entire repeat. Instead of ending with a k3 you will end with a k2.

I think you cut it off before I got enough info to really say. What they are telling you is that you have a nested repeat - there has to be somewhere that tells you how many times to repeat the stuff within the parentheses. Each time you repeat the parenthetical, you repeat the brackets inside twice to complete the parenthetical.

All knitting has two sides and the Right Side is simply the side that is intended to be worn showing, the Wrong Side is the side that is not seen by other people. In a hat or a sweater it is the "inside". Many knitting patterns rely on this differentiation to guide instructions, so even if you are working a fully reversible fabric you need to know what the "Right Side" is because the instructions might require it.

Honestly, I have never seen asterisk used in that fashion. It's a little odd. But the way I would interpret it is that you repeat (k2tog, k3, YO, k4) until you are 6 sts from the end of your row/round and on the last repeat they do not want you to do the k4. You would end the repeat with the YO and then k3, kfb, k2 with the last 6 sts.

Unfortunately there are abbreviations in this set of instructions that I can not know the meaning of without the abbreviation index and there seems to be missing or misplaced notations (open brackets without closing brackets etc ...). I encourage you to contact the designer of this pattern for clarification.

@@WatchBarbaraKnit I like to forward and share this pattern with you. If you don’t mind can I have your email. Thx you Syl

Rep Sleeve Incs every 1 rnd(s), 7 more times, is this saying that I increase every rnd seven times. The actual repeat pattern says this Rep Sleeve Incs every 2 (2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1) rnd(s), 15 (17, 18, 20, 1, 5, 7, 13) more time

Your best bet is to write the designer and see what they say. I'm afraid I cannot answer this confidently without seeing the entire pattern.

ARE YOU AMERICA

Yes, I am in the United States.

I saw this in my in box, so once again, I decided to click on it because it said, "Watch Barbara Knit." I went through the whole post and there was no knitting. Can't watch barbara knit, it there's no knitting. Oh, well, I tried.

The entire video is about knitting. There is much more to knitting than the actual act of knitting. Every video will have the name of the channel which is "Watch Barbara Knit" but then there will be a title which tells you what is in the video - which this one is "How to Read a Knitting Pattern". If you no longer wish to receive notifications about my videos you can either turn off notifications or unsubscribe from the channel.

Too much pre talk

I'm so glad that you took the time out of your busy day to leave this incredibly useful comment on a five year old video. The great thing about KZread is there are all different kinds of creators and I wish you the best of luck finding one that makes videos to your exacting specifications.

Again, thank you so much! Whenever I'm stumped on a knitting project I know I can come here and unscramble my brain😊 You are a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, it is much appreciated!

That is awesome to hear. If you ever run into something I don't have a video for please do not hesitate to make a suggestion. I am always looking for more video ideas.

Hi, when you write (7 sts) does it mean to Repeat that 7 times within that row ?
