Men’s Tuck Stitch Pullover Chart

This is how I charted the pattern for the Men’s Tuck Stitch Pullover, which is in the Archive Patterns section.

As noted earlier in this tutorial, the shaping formula for this, and all my charted patterns, is given in stitches-rows-times, which is different from the Japanese charted patterns. This is the formula most American designers use for their charted patterns.

Please use the written instructions for specific instructions.  I always begin with this format, then convert to written patterns when publishing. However, when drafting patterns just for myself, I knit directly from this chart. I keep a clean sheet of paper handy, and make notes to myself while knitting, especially if the shaping is a little complicated.
