If you have ever had a knitting pattern under your eyes, it must be admitted, this one is difficult to decipher. Especially for beginners who want to learn to knit. Indeed, there is a knitting language, a "real" language specific and complicated at first glance for neophytes.
But do not panic ! We have prepared a lexicon of abbreviations to decode the terms necessary for the realization of your first DIY book.
This specific coding in the knitting sheets is present everywhere. The best is to memorize it!
Once you've mastered this vocabulary, get started! Need some ideas? Take a look in our knitting tutorials and create your first sweater .
