 01 / Make a knitting chart

## Create a knitting colourwork chart

 A knitting colour chart maps yarn colours to stitches. Start with this small, two-colour canvas: change a cell, see the repeat, and save your chart.

 Select a cell to change its colour. Arrow keys move; Space paints. Read row 1 at the bottom.

 Your changes stay in this browser when storage is available. No account or upload.

 The editor needs JavaScript. You can still [download the original charts](/sashiko/colorwork-patterns) without it.

 01

## Choose a starting pattern

 Start with an original motif. Select cells to switch between background and contrast yarn.

 02

## Check the repeat

 The repeat preview shows the chart tiled twice in each direction. Watch how shapes meet at the edges.

 03

## Download and knit a sample

 Download the SVG or print the chart with its colour key. Use the row labels and knit a practice sample.

## Need a larger chart or more colours?

 This free web tool is a two-colour, 12 × 12 chart sketchpad. For larger editable projects, yarn materials and PDF export, explore Sashiko’s iPhone Swatch studio. A chart shows colour placement; it does not automatically supply garment sizing, shaping or a stitch-by-stitch technique lesson.
