Star Chart

Mary, I downloaded Google Chrome and then opened it to get to our site here. Works fine. For a test, I uploaded this star chart that I have no idea how to read. It is for decreasing into the star crown pattern for a hat. Can you decipher it?

  1. Hey, Paula!

    Thanks for the advice on the internet posting.

    I believe I understand the chart. In the first row, you have a full 15 stitches, going from right to left. On the second row, you knit one stitch, decrease 1, then knit to the end, going from left to right (14 stitches total). On the 3rd row, you knit until you come to the 2nd to last stitch, decrease 1 and then knit one (13 stitches left). 4th row, knit one, decrease one, knit to end, etc. The decreases are quick with no knitted rows in between decreases.

    Hope that helps.
