There are process knitters and there are end-product knitters. Regardless of which group you feel you belong to, it can be tiring staring at an ill-laid-out pattern for the hours and hours you spend knitting a project. Without proper section titles, spacing, and use of visual aids, the lines of a written pattern are hard to keep track of and you can spend more of your time trying to figure out where you left off than actually knitting! Charts that are all black and white and insufficiently labelled can be an even bigger nightmare.
That’s why I’ve spent a lot of time and effort laying out Laylock patterns to be fun to look at as well as to follow. I want you to enjoy the experience of reading & executing the instructions as much as you enjoy the final piece.
If you’re a beginner knitter, it’s even more important that you’re not discouraged by confusing directions and unfamiliar techniques. Imagine your pattern, not as a set of static sheets, but as a map to get you where you want to go.
Which pattern would you prefer to follow?
