Knitting patterns give row-by-row instructions, often with charts for lace, cables and colorwork. Independent designers publish patterns for every level, from a first garter-stitch scarf to seamless yoke sweaters and intricate lace shawls.
Common types include top-down and bottom-up sweaters, cardigans and vests, socks, hats and mittens, shawls and wraps, blankets, baby garments and toys. Most garment patterns are graded across a size range and include a schematic with finished measurements.
Before buying, check the yarn weight and suggested yarn amount, needle sizes, gauge, finished measurements and recommended ease, and the techniques used. Patterns with both written and charted instructions suit knitters who prefer one or the other.
Choosing a knitting pattern
- Check yarn weight, yarn amount and needle sizes.
- Knit a gauge swatch to match the pattern before starting.
- Compare finished measurements and ease with your own measurements.
- See whether instructions are written, charted or both.
- Check the skill level and techniques, such as cables, steeks or short rows.
Questions about knitting patterns
Can I use a different yarn?
Yes, if you match the gauge and the yarn behaves similarly. Fiber content affects drape and fit.
What does ease mean?
Ease is the difference between your body measurement and the finished garment. Positive ease is roomier; negative ease fits snugly.
Can I sell items I knit from the pattern?
Check the license. Many designers allow small-scale sales with credit; some require permission.
