Use a paper to draw and cut a pattern for the the shape you would like to knit. E.g. a paper cardigan pattern, paper pattern for ball sections or ….
Gauge
Knit a test piece larger than 10 times 10 cm with the knitting method, the yarn and the needles that you will use, to find out the gauge.
If the yarn and needles are thin you can make one that is 5 times 5 cm. In this case you must multilply the number of rows and stiches with 2 before you enter the numbers.
Print out and put as many papers together as you need for your pattern. Make sure that the printer uses actual scale and not adapted scale, if that choice is available. Make sure that the grid is correct by measuring it after printout. Sometimes printers are too ”intelligent”.
Put your pattern on the printed papers and draw a line around it. Now you have a diagram you can follow for your knitting.
