Reading knitting patterns needn't be hard

Ever wondered how the best knitters get through their patterns? 

Reading and knitting through one after the other isn't that specialist, there's not a secret formula. 

Neither is there a whole lesson in University that you somehow missed that teaches about reading knitting patterns.

So why can it be so hard? 

And what if you've tried reading a pattern and found it so tough you never want to try again?

Taking a single pattern and deciding to knit it can work out fine, but there are patterns out there that are almost unreadable, even for confident advanced knitters. And that's down to the writer, not the knitter!

Join me on the journey today, where you'll learn what really matters:

That it's about knowing the big picture and the details to be aware of as you knit each item. 

I'll show you the different components that are important as you pick knitting patterns, along with how you'll work through them one step at a time.

There are some courses in the Knit With Hannah Academy which will also help. Take a look at the options below:

The Intuitive Knitting course, has a full module on reading knitting patterns. You'll pick one from your collection and pick it apart to see how to knit through it.

And if it's the confidence to actually move that step towards knitting from a pattern, a brand new course The Confident Knitter will be appearing in your sights this month. Make sure you're signed up to the email list to be the first to hear when it's ready.
