HOW to READ CROCHET CHARTS and SYMBOLS by Naztazia

Learn how read crochet charts and symbols in this tutorial video. Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from Naztazia. In this video I show how to read crochet symbols and charts. You'll learn the symbols for a chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch. Plus I'll show you how to read a crochet chart written in rows as well as rounds. Some say charts are easier to read than traditional crochet patterns. What do you think?

This is a very very good instruction video for those learning to read charts. I love following charted patterns. I taught myself to read charts when I was a child, fifty years ago, using my mother’s Magic Crochet magazines. I made lots of beautiful doilies in cotton string this way. I’m a visual learner. Thank you!

[@naztazia]

I love the Magic Crochet magazines! Their diagrams (and patterns) were fantastic!

[@lynnjaynes3452]

My mother had some Magic Crochet books , but she passed in 2010 3 yes after my husband. Now they're mine. Beautiful patterns in them.

[@angelawossname]

Thankyou for making this so easy to understand! I am 51, just diagnosed with adhd but I've been doing crochet since I was a kid. I never had the focus to learn how to read a chart.

[@denisegustafson]

Thank you SO much! A lightbulb just went off in my head! I have looked at charts before and just said no way! It's really easy and I like the visual. It's like a map. 💜

[@karenjenkins5651]

I LOVE this video! I've struggled with printed patterns even though I've been crocheting for years. I've relied heavily on UA-cam videos (many of them from your channel) because I didn't have to frustrate myself by trying to understand a pattern. I get it now!! Thank you SO much & please keep those videos coming.

[@suewiley1422]

So true, I have also felt like charts were a pain. This is a perfect video to give me confidence.

[@dianecunningham7332]

Thank you, Donna. I am an older crocheter and could not read a chart. I think, I can do it with no problem with you explain.💕

[@naztazia]

Wonderful!

[@onababona6101]

FINALLY someone is teaching this!!!! FINALLY!!!!! Bless you my child !!!!! :-) :-) :-)

[@lynnjaynes3452]

I have mostly gone by written patterns inthe 60 yrs I've been crocheting. Looked at the diagrams but never could follow them. Thank you so much for this tutorial I think I might be able to try one now. I saved this to my chat so I could keep it. 🧶❤😘

[@oliviamiller3729]

Thank you so much, Donna! This video sure helped me a lot in reading charts!

[@naztazia]

I'm so glad!

[@edenwalsh1014]

Thank you ever so much for this. I have been so so lazy and never bothered to decipher crochet charts! ha ha But hey Presto!!! here's what's needed. This has made light of those lines and squiggles ha ha Thank you Naztazia!! xx

[@maybarnard1088]

Fantastic, I usually avoid charts as I'm so unsure of how to read them. Thank you.

[@Fizzy_moth7]

Edit: I love this! This helps me understand it because I have ADHD and struggle with processing new information without audible things and examples. Reading doesn’t work,nor does just talking. But talking and examples like this help so much. So thank you because this is heaven.
Why is crochet like mf biology! I hate it. But I wanna learn it. But it’s difficult because I have trouble reading this without actual real images! An no one else does it! But they need to. Why? To make it easier for me and others! I’ll start a riot with my frustration!

[@naztazia]

Happy to help!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

I always wanted to know how to read those charts. Thank you. I am 66 years old and you surely can teach an old gal new tricks. LOL

[@naztazia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@betsysears3027]

Thank you for going over this with clear explanations. I believe you made it possible for me to read charts.
Thank you so much Donna!

[@suewiley1422]

Great video, so many people out there assume everyone knows how to read their patterns and have skipped teaching this. Much appreciated and I'll probably have to rewatch before working from a pattern. 😊❤️

[@kt55466]

Super simple and to the point. Fab video. Thanks.

[@naztazia]

[@naztazia]

You’re welcome 😊

[@dianeburdick3901]

Excellent video! I tried to read a symbol pattern and couldn’t get it. I’m not sure if it had a legend or not. I’m just getting half way decent at reading a written pattern. It’s nice to have it to go along with a tutorial. You’ve done a wonderful job of teaching this. Thank-you!😀

[@serenaayeaye2932]

Thanks million. Even I can knit by following the video. I have no idea how to knit by seeing this pattern. You are so kind.🙏
