I can understand the chart symbols, but, for example, how many chains do you know how to start with for a pattern? I can never figure this out...thanks
I need your help.. I have encountered in a pattern I’m doing this command and don’t know what to do: “PLACING STS AS BEFORE WORK A SPACE, A GROUP OF 4 dc” I will appreciate your help..
This was great, but I'm having trouble with patterns with multiple charts and symbols.....not knowing where to start the next chart or how to attach them! Please help!
I couldn’t thank you more, I self taught myself to crochet half a year ago and working my way up to more complicated projects. Every time when I see charts I have to skip because I was clueless. Thank you so much for all your great tutorials. Do you mind to share the chart links? Is it a Japanese chart? It looks simple and yet quite challenging for beginners chart reader.
I like written pattern as well as charts. They compliment each other when one gets confusing. But charts are more clearly illustrated as to how many chains, stitches or where the next stitch should go. When a video tutorial or pattern doesn't give the beginning multiples to start with, I try to make my own chart and it helps a lot :) Thank you for your patience Miss Elena. More power to you :)
Thank you so much. I’ve been avoiding the diagrams when I crochet and just follow the tutorial, but with this explanation I can understand more and it has opened a new world of crochet for me.
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I am new to crochet and have taught myself from you tube with the help of people like you but I find yours particularly good and easy to follow. Thank you again x
Thank you because I learned to read UK terms as a teen and now it kind of confusing as an adult between uk and America ,I always reverting to a chart to get back on track it can be confusing . Thank you for the explanation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . Love your tutorials too and patterns. 😍
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have had such a hard time learning to read these charts and even reading written patterns since I am very visual, but your explanation has helped so much. I have missed out on not being able to make some beautiful pieces simply because they are in chart and no video tutorial is available. Again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!❤
Thank you very much ma'am. I always wanted to learn to read charts. I used to feel bad when I wasn't able to do a project for which only a chart is available. Thank you so much for this video
I can not begin to tell you what a life saver this lesson has been for me!! I am TERRIBLE at reading patterns no matter how many times I have tried it has NEVER worked for me! You are TRULY an ANGEL for helping people like me learn a new way of reading a pattern! I can’t Thank You enough!! This is a true gift for me because now I can learn so many other things. You are a WONDERFUL instructor! God Bless You for sharing Your Gift! Thank You So Much! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘
Hello Lenysea! thank you for this wonderful tutorial about reading Crochet diagrams, your tutorials are very clearly explained. I've learned to Crochet watching You Tube videos, I don't understand written instructions very well but diagrams are easier. love you tutorials! making one of your scarf right now abd plan to make your beautiful summer tops!
Omg! #Bless Sista! I just learned how to read charts! I started watching the video of you crocheting the pattern, and I had to watch this one first. Your explanations were perfect! I could totally see the finished pattern (in my yarn of choice), in the chart. I learned a lot! Thank you, thank you! 🤗 *New Subscriber*
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been very nervous to follow a chart because I didn't know how to read it. I have one question, how can we tell if we crochet into a chain or around it like in a ch 3 space, for example? Thank you. I love all of your items and thank you for sharing your talent. You are so generous to share.
Hi teacher Lenysea I'm so happy I stumble into your website . I know how to crochet by looking at finished garment but I have never learn how to read a pattern. I can understand a little of graph. I have seen a pattern I really love so far I was able to understand a few rows but I now came to row 8 and I read it over 7 time tried it out and does not look right will you please help me in plain English how these goes .ch3, 2dc in same dc,ch2 sk1, dc, *sk ch sp,cl in next dc,sk ch sp,dc in next dc, rep from * until 2dc rem ch 2.sk1, 3dcin last dc turn. Row 9: ch 3,2dcin the same dc,ch2 ski ,dc,* ch3, dc in next dc.ch3,scin ch sp of cl, rep from * on row 9 since i says skip one does it mean I enter the hook into the second dc of row 8? thanks so much for helping me. To read a crochet pattern is like reading Greek to me I'm a visual person I knit and crochet always by looking just as I assemble a bike or piece of furniture by seeing the shape to feed almost like a jigsaw puzzle. You are a great teacher just watch ing your video already help me a lot about symbol I'll check out all you video and subscribe. Again tthanks a lot.
I too am just learning to read charts. Glad i came across yours as i did not know the differences between US/UK. Is it also different in other languages too? Like Russian, Portugese, n Italian?
Hi. This is the very first video of yours I'm watching and it really is very helpful. Now I can finally crochet this one chart for a shawl I got a little while ago. I am new to crocheting so I am still learning. Thank you so much! 😄
can do some stitches but not patterns as I am learning. looks and sounds easy but then I haven't tried yet. For years I have put it off this time I am going to try to make something instead of out of shape round and squares.
Great work dear, excellent thanks for this really wonderful and very very useful video 😘 I was always behind in reading the charts.u made it so simple and fun for reading the charts. thanks dear
Thank you so much, i've always wanted to learn, but needed someone to explain it to me. I'm thankful for all you do, i will try to learn and send a pic your way of what i create, once again thanks.
In case you get these messages..I found it through google. It was the front post dc crochet and the back post dc also the front loop only and back loop only were there.. just in case you want to include them in your next information video.
Hi I can barely get through a typed pattern. You want me to learn to read a chart with symbols... it’s NEVER going to happen LOL. You did fine explaining it, but I’ll stick to paper with typed words. Thank you and Happy New Year.💐
it says to do those 7 double crochets in the 3 chains below it- but doesnt say how many in each of the three......do you just try to balance it between the 3?
I would wager that the intent is to put the 7 double crochets (side-by-side) into the “3-chain-space” - not inserting the hook into any one of the individual chains.
Thanks a lot dear ..you r very helpful and generous and i like all your tutorials ..the pattern at your phone is soo beuatiful ..can u do it for us if u don't mind pleeeease ?? Thanks again and best wishes..
Hi Leny is there a way where I can email you a small pattern? That you can tell me how to do it. I’ve try but I’m not sure if it’s right. This pattern has no directions or description?
Goog morning Lenysea. Very good. I'm New to your channel. I've done your work. I am from mozambique África. Congratulations ON your beautiful, Very beautiful pieces. I'm a beginner and I Still do crocheting following the vídeos step by step. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for teaching with attention and Care. May god always enlighten you.
karlesism All you have to do is grab some yarn, a crochet hook and follow as I explain. No offense, but you can’t have everything handed to you on a platter. You’ve got to put some effort as well. 🤷🏻♀️
if you actually showed us how to execute the diagram it would be more useful than just commenting over the symbols and I still can't even start following the diagram after the video

Hi Leny is there a way where I can email you a small pattern? That you can tell me how to do it. I’ve try but I’m not sure if it’s right. This pattern has no directions or description?
Genine Miranda Hi! If it’s someone else’s creation, it would be wrong for me to share their pattern.
Lenysea there’s no name it’s on a blank paper
Was the email I received from you? With the chart/diagram?
Lenysea yes
THANK U SO MUCH❣️❣️
Thank you so much
Thank u so much! I've been waiting for a video with clear instructions! Thank u!

Monasse Felix has the
Sorry l have an e-mail where l can send the graphics, thank you.
It would be more effective if you demonstrated how to crochet as you are explaining how to read so that we viewers can see how it’s actually done.
karlesism All you have to do is grab some yarn, a crochet hook and follow as I explain. No offense, but you can’t have everything handed to you on a platter. You’ve got to put some effort as well. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks💚💚💚💚😚😚😚
Lenysea I am sending you an e-mail request of a graphic that l have difficulty understanding already thank you for your attention. Kisses
if you actually showed us how to execute the diagram it would be more useful than just commenting over the symbols and I still can't even start following the diagram after the video
One mistake and you whole pattern is wrong, out of balance.
As with ANY pattern, crochet or knit 🤷🏻♀️🙂
Thank you very much
