You could try posting in Arts and Crafts. What is your issue?

Somebodyimportant1 · 17/11/2020 09:32

@Knittedfairies thanks for the suggestion to post in arts & craft. I just need help reading a basic pattern. I haven't knitted in a very long time & I have forgotten how to read patterns

Ah, I see. There are various guides on the net, e.g. www.cast-on.co.uk/reading-a-pattern/

There is a knitting thread and people will rally to help. Or you could just say what you are having trouble with and someone may be able to help.

Somebodyimportant1 · 17/11/2020 13:09

Hello all I haven't knitted in almost 2 decades & I am trying to knit now to occupy my mind. But unfortunately, due to an acquired brain injury, I can not remember how to read a pattern. I would sincerely appreciate help in understanding the attached pattern, please. Thanks

You might find this book interesting www.shopkdd.com/books/handywoman-1 Kate Davies had a stroke and had to relearn how to knit, it is v inspirational.

Hi OP, I'm ni expert, but I'll have a look. In the meantime, do join us on the Knit Crochet and Natter thread. I'm sure someonewill be able to help! here

lazylinguist · 17/11/2020 16:30

Ummm it sounds right to me OP. Knit 7 purl 7, that makes 14. Times 4 - that makes 56, plus K7, that makes 63 stitches.

WildCherryBlossom · 17/11/2020 16:36

I agree with lazylinguist. That's how I read it.

If you have trouble with any particular stitches there are a lot of videos on You Tube. Wool And The Gang and We Are Knitters have some very clear ones.

WildCherryBlossom · 17/11/2020 19:23

Eventually you should end up with a pattern of alternating squares, a bit like this but a lot bigger and without the border.
