There is a chart at the back that helps you choose the most suitable yarn for each pattern.<\/p>\n<p>This helps because the yarns used in this book are only available in Japan, so I found that knitting a gauge swatch helped with choosing a suitable yarn\/pattern.<\/p>\n<h3>Patterns &amp; Charts<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61549\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese knitting book\" width=\"690\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9-330x236.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gloves-book_9-644x460.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rather than written (coded) instructions like the knitting patterns you may be used to, Japanese knitting patterns use mainly charts and diagrams.<\/p>\n<p>I must admit, being a visual learner, I prefer this style of pattern a lot more, as you can clearly see what the finished product is meant to look like. It also makes the pattern easier to adjust if you want to increase or decrease the sizing.<\/p>\n<p>Charts are much easier to follow than trying to count rows.
