Knitting charts can feel like a secret code, but understanding the symbols is the key to success. These simple icons can make your knitting more efficient and enjoyable—if you know what they mean. Without a clear guide, though, they can leave you feeling stuck.

That’s why we created a knitting symbol resource just for machine knitters. Our guide includes easy-to-understand graphics that show how each stitch is formed from the machine knitter's perspective, with the purl side facing.

It’s a straightforward, no-guesswork approach to help you read charts with confidence.

For example, you may come across a stitch pattern chart like this one and feel confused about how it relates to your machine knitting.
