Some charting devices are drawn in ¼ scale.
Patricia J S
When I started machine knitting, I did not have the internet. Also, I could never match anyone else's Stitch/Row gauge. Being a large woman, I quickly learned to write my own patterns. I looked for diagrams included with patterns. Then, I used their shape and my pattern. e
Patricia H
Love to use my own paper for patterns to fit me, then move over onto knitleader
Nancy M
those Japanese graphics did bring schematics into the hand knitting world too.
Matthew F
