Assembly of Alphabet Charts
I have included the approximate letter size for some of the patterns (towards the end, when I hit the jackpot, I did not do as much counting.) This should make it easier to choose my favorite!

ReplyDeleteI love the information you have here, and just to add some 'light reading' I just came across an antique pattern library with various needlework references, some including alphabets (I've only gone down to the B's, but found ArteEDiletto and BrownFiletCrochet both with alphabets)and just a multitude of beautiful patterns: http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/completelist.htm

ReplyDeleteNICE SITE EXCELLENT WORK WHEN YOU GO THE ASSEMBLE OF THE KNITTED BLOCK LETTERS WHY IS THE LETTER A OK ON THE CHART BUT THEN LETTERS B ETC ARE BACKWARDS? IM CONFUSED NOW
ReplyDeleteDO YOU STILL START OUT AT BOTTOM LEFT HAND SIDE FOR ROW 1 OR HOW WOULD YOU DO CONFUSED NOW AS WANT TO DO ON A KNITTED DISHCLOTH
You need to plan carefully when you start knitting a charted letter. Are you making the dishcloth from the top down or the bottom up? Are you starting the letter on the right side or the wrong side of the fabric? These can all affect how the final product looks.
DeleteIf you are knitting the square from the bottom up, then on the RS you want to work a chart from the bottom to the top, right to left. On the wrong side you would work the chart left to right. If you are knitting your project from the top down, you need to reverse the above. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
MAKING THE DISHCLOTH FROM THE BOTTOM TO TOP DOING ROW 1 ON RIGHT SIDE ALL ODD ROWS
DeleteTHEN ALL EVEN ONES DOING ON LEFT REALLY WNAT TO FIGURE OUT FOR MY DAUGHTERS 30BDAY BUT CANT WOULD YOU HAVE A WRITTEN CHART FOR LETTERS PLUS THE CHARTS FOR SALE IM GOOD AT CORCHDETING BUT NOT KNITTING I MEAN I BUY DESIGNER DISHCLOTH PATTERNS GOT QUITE A FEW BUT REALLY WANTED TO TRY COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME THANKS SINCERELY PATRICIA P.S. AND CANT FIGURE OUT HOW MANY ROWS TO DO BUT THIS I ODNT THINK IS A BIG PROBLEM CANT EMAIL YOU

HOEP TO EHAR FROMYA SOON PATTY
I'm sorry that I don't have any written charts for the letters. The charts linked to in this post are just links to other people's designs, they aren't my designs. Good luck!
DeleteSo many that I clicked on are no longer available via what you've posted.
ReplyDeleteDrats!!
Ugh, that is annoying! Although I suppose it is bound to happen since this post is almost 6 years old... One of my favorite charts (that I used in my first stocking design) went away and I was so bummed I didn't copy all of the letters first!
DeleteOops. I was interested in the alef-bet for a knit afghan for upcoming Bar Mitzvah gift.
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions?
The "Loom Woven" Version below should work for an Alef-bet. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteHi, Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteSo last night a friend asked me to help her chart a lettered banner for her to knit. I also offered her a look at my stash. I had suggested she do the letters in a multi-colored yarn on a black background and she fell in love with one of the yarns I got from you, so I'm letting her have it. I then googled "charted alphabets for knitting" and, lo & behold, this page pops up. I thought it was karma that brought this page up from your site for a project using your yarn! Thanks so much for this comprehensive list, and for your analysis of each of the letter sizes and such. Why am I not surprised that you were so thorough with this? :-)
Great knowledge, do anyone mind merely reference back to it

Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI was googling knit alphabets when this site popped up, and I found it to be a major disappointment. Firstly, when I clicked on many of the links, I was sent to pages that had absolutely nothing to do with the indicated patterns; and secondly, for the few patterns to which I was successfully linked, I noticed that the grid lines were in perfect squares, while as most knitters know or should know, knitted stitches are typically wider than they are tall, meaning that these patterns would come out distorted. Until I see that these issues have been fixed, I will be searching elsewhere.
