Starting today, I’ve decided to learn how to read crochet diagrams.
I have seen crochet patterns in other languages with no option of translating into English and most of them also come with these diagrams.
Imagine trying to decipher this one below!!
I’ve never bothered myself with it before, but I think its time to take a step up and advance myself a bit (I hope being able to read diagrams is a sign of advancement and not something that should have been started with in the first place 🙂 ).
Once I familiarize myself with the symbols, I thought I would start with a simple Granny Square diagram.. something like this :
Hope I manage and learn something new 🙂

I can understand the granny square diagram… probably because I know a granny square quite well, but that other one looks complicated! Good luck reading it 🙂

Good luck with your plan. That first one certainly does look complex – hopefully it won’t be long before you can glance at it and know what in means in a second 🙂

Learning diagrams is a must, it’s practically the international language on crochet! The first one is really easy as it’s a motif worked in the round that consists of dc/tr arrangements and chains, with some sc worked in to secure some chain segments down to the previous row.
Have fun learning!
