KNIT ALONG || HOW TO KNIT FROM A CHART WITH GUEST POM POM QUARTERLY!

KNIT ALONG || HOW TO KNIT FROM A CHART WITH GUEST POM POM QUARTERLY!

One of the questions we get asked a lot by knitters is how do you knit from and read a chart. Knitting from charts can seem overwhelming at times but I promise it's a way that some knitters find faster and easier to work from. And when you are working with lace and cables for that special Summer Sweater Knit Along project a chart can be super helpful and necessary.

To help answer this question we have the awesome gals from Pom Pom Quarterly here today to share a fun tutorial on How to Read a Chart - The Basics! Pom Pom editor Lydia Gluck has even done up a fun FREE downloadable tutorial in their signature Pom Pom style! I love it!
