Any knitting chart should have a key. This file provides a key of
suggested definitions for most of the symbols. If you find it
convenient, you have permission to simply copy and paste the relevant
sections of this file to your pattern. No acknowledgement is required.

The following symbols are meant to be used for increases, decreases,
and special instructions; their
exact definition should vary from pattern to pattern.

The Craft Yarn Council of America suggests a \href{http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/chart_knit.html}{slightly different set of symbols}. In particular, they want to use

\begin{itemize}

\item \textknit{)} and \textknit{(} for single decreases (where I have \textknit{>} and \textknit{<})

\item \textknit{v} and \textknit{6} for slipped stitches (where I have \textknit{s} and \textknit{\purlbackground{s}})

\item Solid black dots \textknit{\knitbox{{$\bullet$}}{1}} for bobbles

\item Solid dark squares \textknit{{\purlpass{\color{darkgrey}}\mainpass[=]{``}}} for no-stitch boxes

\item 
\textknit{\rlap{\raisebox{-1pt}{\hskip1.3pt \footnotesize\textnormal{\textsf{3}}}}%
\mainpass[(]{\hskip1pt\rule[-\stitchdp]{0pt}{\stitchht}\raisebox{1pt}[0pt][0pt]{(}\hskip-1pt}}
and \textknit{\mainpass[)]{\hskip-1pt\rule[-\stitchdp]{0pt}{\stitchht}\raisebox{1pt}[0pt][0pt]{)}\hskip1pt}%
\llap{\raisebox{-1pt}{\footnotesize\textnormal{\textsf{3}}\hskip1.3pt}}}
for double decreases (and 
\textknit{\rlap{\raisebox{-1pt}{\hskip1.3pt \footnotesize\textnormal{\textsf{4}}}}%
\mainpass[(]{\hskip1pt\rule[-\stitchdp]{0pt}{\stitchht}\raisebox{1pt}[0pt][0pt]{(}\hskip-1pt}}

\llap{\raisebox{-1pt}{\footnotesize\textnormal{\textsf{4}}\hskip1.3pt}}}
for triple decreases)

\item \textknit{7}, \textknit{8}, and \textknit{9} instead of \textknit{y}, \textknit{u}, and \textknit{z}.

\end{itemize}
\textknit{{\purlpass{\color{darkgrey}}\mainpass[=]{``}}} 
is harder to get out of \TeX\ than the grid symbol {\knitgrid\textknit{,}} and is less clear than the nongrid symbol {\knitnogrid\textknit{,}}. The rest of my symbols are different because I think they are clearer, prettier, or allow for more different stitches to be indicated. (\textknit{v} looks like an increase to me, and the CYCA doesn't distinguish between \textknit{l} and \textknit{L}). \fi

\section{General symbols}

\ifdesigner
If you do not use twisted make-1 increases (or if you use \textknit{m}
for them) you may wish to substitute \textknit{t} for \textknit{b}.
If you do use \textknit{t} or \textknit{x}, and you don't care about the
distinction between \textknit{b} and \textknit{q}, you may wish to
substitute \textknit{\knitbox{B}{1}} for \textknit{b}.

\textknit{(} and \textknit{)} are meant to indicate biased stitches, that is, stitches worked between increases and decreases. These are needed in charts for machine knitting; they also can make the chart easier to visualize.

%If you use bobbles, be sure to define ssp tbl somewhere.

A horizontal cable should (usually) be preceded by a yarn over and followed by a decrease. You may wish to write the yarn over or decrease as part of the instructions for a horizontal cable:

\section{Increases}

\ifdesigner Some charts work better if a double increase \textknit{W} takes up three squares instead of one. In the grid font, the best-looking way to do this is to use \verb|\widesymbol{W}{3}|.
The symbols \textknit{0} and \textknit{\#} have no predetermined definitions; use them for whatever you need.

\section{Decreases}

\ifdesigner
Purl decreases produce strong diagonal lines on the wrong side. You
may wish to use \textknit{;} for p2tog and \textknit{:} for SSP tbl if
you wish to clearly indicate which way these diagonal lines slant.

You may also think that \textknit{4} and \textknit{5} look better in your pattern than \textknit{<} and \textknit{>}; their definitions may be interchanged.
