I never post comments on videos but now I have to!! I bought some patterns on Etsy last night and I didn’t realize they were diagram patterns. I yelled UGH!!!! And threw my phone down on the couch. So, today I thought, I bet Mikey has a video on how to read these dumb things....OMG I never knew it was soooo easy!!! Needless to say, thanks to YOU, I am sooo excited to get started on my projects!! I bow at your feet and thank you!! 😊
Thank You So Much Mikey😊 I really need to learn how to read patterns and diagrams. I've been Crocheting for 6 months now, by just watching RUclips videos
I just want to thank you for such a thorough and easy to grasp concepts of learning to read crochet diagrams. I’m excited to dive right in, crocheting one out of a book I just purchased applying all I’ve learned from your video. Thanks, again!
Thank you for this video. I learned to read diagrams out of Crochet Fantasy magazines back in 1985 and 1986. When I started crocheting again it was hard to find diagrams. Written instructions were so difficult to read. I have now learned to read and write patterns but I still prefer diagrams. I'm with you. Give me a diagram any day. Thanks again, Mikey for making this video.
Wow...Just wow!! So much information to absorb! I'm going to keep referring back to this video as I know I will have lots of question into my journey of learning how to read these! So many cool patterns have only diagrams but I saved them anyway, thinking that one day I'm going to learn how to use it! That day has come with this amazing new tutorial! Thank you for everything Mikey!
I must admit that diagrams have been very intimidating to me. This tutorial is most helpful and you are a great teacher. It would have been helpful to go through this a little slower for beginners like me, but on the other hand, the rewind button works just fine too. Thanks Mikey, you are a real inspiration!
Such and informative video! I have watched a few "reading crochet diagrams" videos and this one is by far the most educational! I have been scared to attempt following a diagram but now I feel more confident to do so! Thank you from all us beginners you've helped us tremendously.
Thank you for this. I've been crocheting for 12 years and I never bothered with diagrams. I want to make the "magnificent marge" shaw and blanket but they only are in diagram! This was a great tutorial.
@TheCrochetCrowd Mikey thanks to your video on how to find a pattern multiple, I'm now able to find the multiple on my own. Always challenge yourself to learn at least one new stitch or crochet technique every year.
This tutorial was very helpful. Your metaphors and similes were rich and made your explanations easy to remember. Loved that you gave the time stamps up front so it was easy to jump from section to section. Now I'm ready to take on a diagram.
Thanks so much.❤ This is very useful information. I know I can go somewhere to check back for diagrams. God bless for the time you put it to make these videos.
Absolutely love the way you break your videos up into segments so I can jump around to what I need, even though once im done ive usually watched it all, very helpful
Mikey - thank you and also to all the folks behind the scene helping all of us. I so appreciate the endless information, lessons, tutorials, tips, and patterns - for free*! WOW! You and all involved are so generous with time and talent. Due to a variety of reasons, I depend on the Internet, blogs, videos, YT, etc for majority of my crochet instruction. Without Crochet Crowd, Yarninspirations, other talented crocheters who vlog, as well as the yarn industry, I and others in similar situations would be learning crochet at a much slower pace if at all. *(why I support your channel and encourage others to do so too) Great video and thanks again.
Omg - the hop across the top of the river helped me so much! I only wish that there were some yarn on hook demos to go along with the descriptions. Still really helpful, though.
Great, well done. Finally ... thank you ! Like you, I crochet using diagrams only, tabing the best I can. Now with your tutorial, it confirms everything.
thank you so much for explaining how to read the diagrams. I have few patterns in different languages with diagrams but couldn't figure out with some diagrams how to crochet, now I know. all thanks to you
This was So Helpful, thank you so much! Diagrams always looked super complicated so I never tried to understand them and just stuck to reading patterns. Then, I found some beautiful evergreen yarn and wanted to make a shawl out of it but the pattern for the shawl I liked was only in diagram form. Now I can actually move forward with my project! ☺️
You're very welcome! This will open a whole world of crochet to you as the diagrams are not dependent on language but just of symbols and are used globally.
Thank you very much, after many years of knowing how to crochet, reading patterns is still way down on the to do list. Yours and many other visual instructors, have brought back my, I can do this confidance. There are many patterns out there waiting to be turned into wearable art. Big hugs to you and all instructors who continue to teach and amaze us non readers of patterns. Crafters rule, consumers druel
Mikey, this is a fantastic tutorial. I will be referring to it often as I love using the diagram instead of a written out pattern. In the knitting world, there are standardized software programs to make it easier for designers to use and Inc,due diagrams. I hope this happens for crochet designers to take the sting out of the process. Maybe a business idea for Diva Dan? ;) thank you again.
Thank you for all the work you did for this tutorial! It was so detailed. I have crocheted for forty years and have never used a diagram but your explanations were excellent and very logical so I feel with some practice I could use diagrams. I will give it a try for sure! Much appreciation Mikey!
Smita Naik what should she avoid? Diagrams? Diagrams are amazing and they open up an entire new world of crochet patterns. Don't avoid them. Tackle them and embrace them. I LOVE using diagrams.
This video is so helpful and well done! Thank you so much. I got a book of patterns a long time ago only to find that they are only charts...have never known how to read them!!
Mikey, you are a good teacher of crochet. When I need help I always turn to your videos, because you show us and tell us in terms we can understand. Thank you!
Wonderful work you do! Thank you for sharing! I just saw a pattern the other day that used a hollow triangle as the symbol to "start", and a filled in triangle where the pattern "ends".
You absolutely amazing teacher.Ibought 5 skirt crochet patter to my surprise it all came in symbol. The writing pattern are in Russian and I have not a clue what is it. I was given a Japanese gorgeous crochet pattern book with so intricate design tops and garments but it was all symbol . unfortunately sitting in my bookshelves. Now after watch your tutorial I beg to see what it is . When the pattern are line across is a little easy to understand but when it is circle it is really hard to understand.
Mikey is there a chance you could possibly do a tutorial for maxi skirt? I so enjoy watching you and you explain so well. Plus. your patient and don't seem to want to rush through. I'd love it if you could nothing to fancy just a nice maxi. Thankyou for all you do for us to follow. Debbie Bell
Watched your live video this morning with your cat! Still making me laugh. Do you have the pictures of the stitches you showed that can be printed? I will look on your page.
Hi :) I love your tutorials and have been teaching myself to crochet and tunisian crochet using you over the last few years. I'm still very new to it all and actually started to learn how to knit a few years ago when I reaslied that you cant actually buy socks to fit my sons, currently, size UK20 feet! So I had to learn to knit in order to make them myself, unfortunately I was so slow in the beginning that it took me over 6 months to do a pair lol I feel like I'm being really thick but I just cant understand the part at 15.00 about doing the treble last even though the originating stitch was first? I just cant seem to get my head around it so would really appreciate some help if you, or anybody, has a few minutes please. Thank you either way and carry on your great work! It'll be interesting to find out what I'm going to learn from you next :)
You are awesome!!! If I could give you a hug, I would. I am working a hat pattern from Magic Crochet October 1996, Number 104 on page 36 and the first half of the instructions are written, which I am used to reading. The second half which shows the pattern stitch in symbols which I am not familiar with in crocheting. In Row 8 there is a very difficult diagram to follow because the written instructions say: RND 7 : 96 dc, but Row 8 shows 16 dc in Row 7 and the 17th stitch instead of showing a dc, it shows 2 Chains with a Back Loop Only symbol and then 2 Chains, a Back Loop Only and then a Chain and then a DC? I need to find if I am too much of a novice or is there something in this diagram that is in error?No matter what, your tutorial is by far the best I have ever watched. I cannot thank you enough for your tutorial!
New to reading diagrams, I can figure out most diagrams (or if I can’t I can improvise off the visual) however I recently purchased a circular lace pattern with a large fan motif. The way it is drawn out I am not sure if I need to do separate motifs and join them separately via chains or if there is a way to continue to crochet in the round. Is there a way to read the diagrams to know if each motif is working in rounds versus sections?
Hi Miley I want to know how Create my one patterns because I want to learn how to do it myself. I want to download it in my computer please. Therefore, I could write my own patterns . Can you send me the link to download on my computer thank you and have a nice day
Mikey, I wanted to mention something that I have notice in the crochet world. Thinking like an engineer I see where someone has taken a pattern for, say, a doily that then may be starched to keep its shape and will always lay flat, but when that pattern then is turned into something as large as a shawl or poncho there are glaring miscalculation on what would become stress points on a hanging garment that are not a problem in a flat laying doily, such as the "Virus" pattern. I have made a poncho and also a large blanket/throw in that pattern and notice that the weight of the finished product creates stress points that would never be considered a problem in that old doily design. Can you address this some time? I would love to hear your opinion on this. If you reply, I'll get notification so I can read what you wrote by just clicking a link. Thanks Mikey.
Hi Mikey I bought A pattern it goes in round and I'm confused is it possible if I sen you part of the partern will you be willing o help means what it means ? hank you very much
What about being left handed? I'm struggling to see if working in the round backwards on a diagram is ok? Only time I've ever tripped up was words don't work and a lily flower was inside out
When you are explaining chain spaces of actual stich I always get confused If they go into the (0) or in individual see I’m just learning to read patterns and don’t understand please can you specify if the patterns ack to be put in the chain?? 🥺 thank you in advance for your help
31:12 - can someone help me read row #2. I came here bc I have a diagram from a Chinese website that I would like to crochet. I posted it on Facebook for some help but I was told to do some research on it, lol! Anyways, here I am...I know what the stitches mean but in my case, I can't figure out how to go up to the next row plus many other issues with reading it. It looks nothing like what is being shown here. My particular pattern must be complicated, lol! However, when Mikey showed us this pattern, I couldn't figure out how to do the 2nd row. In row #2, I see that you chain 3 to climb to get the next row height but the dc's don't seem to match up with the chains. Are all of the dc's being put into the circle or are they being put into each chain space? I would assume that all of the dc's are being put into the circle created by the chains bc the dc's don't match evenly around for each ch sp, if that makes any sense. So, how would I know for sure if the dc's are going into the ch or the ch sp? Would they touch as he mentioned?
If there is a slip stitch. The chainining is the beginning of the round... follow it around and the sl st beside the chain is the last instruction of the round.
Thank you I understand them better now. But I need help! I am doing animal trophy heads by vanessa moonci, I can not figure out what she means. working the back of a mouse head, we change from the round to rows. by work sc in front of the first sc and sc in the next how ever many number of sc. the count does not come out right for me to continue the next row. could you explain or show me a tutorial? I look at the diagram and it looks like I either make a chain and go backwards over 3 sc, which I know is not right, or chain one and instead of going to the left in a row go back one. which does not seem right either. can I send you a pic of the diagram? HELP!!!!
I don't have authorization to film or help with patterns that don't belong to me or to Yarnspirations.com. It's a legal thing unfortunately. It makes me overstep the designer and makes me liable.
To me, crochet diagrams are like "x rays" of a pattern. Take a granny square diagram, for example. You're seeing the "bare bones" of the granny square when you look at its diagram. Some people's eyes seem to be overwhelmed by all the lines of a diagram and they kinda get lost when looking at said diagram. It's like....if it's not made of yarn, they're not seeing what it's supposed to look like even though they're looking right at it on the page. Hmmmm. But I visualize the finished piece pretty easily.
I am looking at your instructions but although you showed the picture called the Stepping Texture hat I there is a space all the way down the middle. Do I start with the chain 3? Do I wrap it around. It is the Bernat.
I have that... it's called Crazy Eight Shawl. We have a tutorial on it and free pattern. It's here on RUclips and our website. I cannot post a direct link on RUclips in this area for the pattern itself. RUclips restrictions... Here's the video tutorial for it. ruclips.net/video/GMhjm0Q0FOE/видео.html
The graphs are extremely confusing, prefer a written alpha pattern. Is there a book to teach how to read/use grapes patterns. It would be easier if you had a pointer when demonstrating the stitches origin etc because the vocal explanation is extremely confusing. Still unclear how to start reading the graph.
I have tried filming several videos for the reading of the crochet diagrams. I fail each time with people. It's probably best I don't film it. I am trapped by simple technology of self production. I'm sorry that I ruined this for you. I learned to read diagrams by using them as a kid, I didn't have a book to show me how, I just learned as I went.
I never post comments on videos but now I have to!! I bought some patterns on Etsy last night and I didn’t realize they were diagram patterns. I yelled UGH!!!! And threw my phone down on the couch.

Glad it was helpful! I have done simpler videos but really I leave a lot of detail out. Thank you for your trust.

Excellent, this helps so much! The biggest help to me was figuring out rows...walking across the tops. Thank-you!
This tutorial was very helpful. Your metaphors and similes were rich and made your explanations easy to remember. Loved that you gave the time stamps up front so it was easy to jump from section to section. Now I'm ready to take on a diagram.

Thank you so much! This helped me figure out a very interesting pattern I recently got my hands on.
I am a chart user and long time crocheter. Great tutorial for anyone! Thank you Mikey.
Excellent instructions
Omg - the hop across the top of the river helped me so much! I only wish that there were some yarn on hook demos to go along with the descriptions. Still really helpful, though.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...was blind and now I see. Crocheting for years and never understood the diagrams.

A good way to remember the 'hooks' at the bottom of the stitches is....if it faces right you are going the right way meaning forward :)
This was SO helpful!! My blinders are off!! Thank you!!
As usual, very well done and clear. Thanks!

Some patterns only have demonstrated odd rows, what should I do for even rows? Are they same as the odd row explained before?
I know how to read charts (most of the time)... but I wonder what is the best way to create one. I appreciate any help.
We use illustrator by Adobe
So incredibly helpful and well explained. Thank you, Mikey.

Hi Mikey I bought A pattern it goes in round and I'm confused is it possible if I sen you part of the partern will you be willing o help means what it means ? hank you very much
What about being left handed? I'm struggling to see if working in the round backwards on a diagram is ok? Only time I've ever tripped up was words don't work and a lily flower was inside out
You still follow the same diagram in the same way as a right hander. You are just crocheting in a different direction. There's no difference.
When you are explaining chain spaces of actual stich I always get confused If they go into the (0) or in individual see I’m just learning to read patterns and don’t understand please can you specify if the patterns ack to be put in the chain?? 🥺 thank you in advance for your help
That's a valid concern. I usually reference the pattern if I am unsure. It will say into chain or into ch sp. I generally go into the space though.
That for the video.

If there is a slip stitch. The chainining is the beginning of the round... follow it around and the sl st beside the chain is the last instruction of the round.
@@TheCrochetCrowd oooh my gosh I get it now, thank you!

On the stepping textured hat i am having trouble reading the diagram. you have 1. in the middle, where does the other section come in?
Not sure what you mean?
I am looking at your instructions but although you showed the picture called the Stepping Texture hat I there is a space all the way down the middle. Do I start with the chain 3? Do I wrap it around. It is the Bernat.
21:56
I really want that pattern for the S thing.
I have that... it's called Crazy Eight Shawl. We have a tutorial on it and free pattern. It's here on RUclips and our website. I cannot post a direct link on RUclips in this area for the pattern itself. RUclips restrictions... Here's the video tutorial for it. ruclips.net/video/GMhjm0Q0FOE/видео.html
❤ Thank you ❤ I didn't know it was a shawl. I was thinking it would make an excellent table runner.
Posted before I was finished, please correct the end to "Crafters Rule" that is all.
The graphs are extremely confusing, prefer a written alpha pattern. Is there a book to teach how to read/use grapes patterns. It would be easier if you had a pointer when demonstrating the stitches origin etc because the vocal explanation is extremely confusing. Still unclear how to start reading the graph.
I have tried filming several videos for the reading of the crochet diagrams. I fail each time with people. It's probably best I don't film it. I am trapped by simple technology of self production. I'm sorry that I ruined this for you. I learned to read diagrams by using them as a kid, I didn't have a book to show me how, I just learned as I went.
