Glossary
The words you’ll meet in Row & Round and on this site, each in a sentence.
- Chart
- A grid where each square stands for a stitch or a colour, read row by row instead of written out in words.
- Colourwork
- Working with two or more colours in a row to make a design, usually from a chart.
- Highlighter bar
- The coloured band in Row & Round that rests on the row you’re working and steps down with each +1.
- Linked counter
- A counter that starts again at 1 whenever the counter it’s linked to goes up, handy for rows inside a repeat.
- Repeat
- A set of rows or stitches the pattern asks you to work again, as in “repeat rows 3 to 10 six times”.
- Round (Rnd)
- One full lap of stitches when you knit in the round or crochet in rounds.
- Row
- One pass of stitches across flat knitting or crochet, from one edge to the other.
- RS and WS
- Right side and wrong side: which face of the work is toward you on a row. Row & Round shows it on the bar.
