1. I love this pattern. Call me dumb, blonde or old (or all three) but I just can’t work it out from the chart. Are there written instructions for it please?

2. Annie, I’m having the same problem. I believe the | and – mean knit and purl for the ribbed part, but I just can’t figure out the other stitch. I, too, would like written instructions. I fell in love with this pattern at first sight! I suppose I could do a seed stitch or such, but I would really like to have it correctly done.

3. Perhaps the V symbol could be to knit into the stitch below.

4. It is a very beautiful pattern. It is disappointing that no one has answered the question on what the “v” symbol is for. I agree with Janis’ guess that it might be to knit in the row below.

5. The V simbol means, sl1 – Slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn behind work.

6. The V means slip a stitch

7. I think the v may be knit below. I’m going to try it.

8. I Love the Ribbed Knit and Purl Chevron Stitch.
   I cannot, absolutely cannot, follow charts.
   I knit as a calming activity, but charts reduce me to tears.
   Is there any chance that you have written instructions for this stitch?
   TIA

9. I’ve written out the instructions from the chart given here. See below. The zigzag lines alternate between Moss Stitch and a narrow Slip Stitch Rib. I took the “V” symbol to mean “slip wyib” as that is what the “V” means in charts throughout the Vogue Knitting Ultimate Stitch Dictionary. Knitted the way I’ve described below does work and my swatch looks just like the photo given here. This is not a reversible stitch pattern.

      1. where can you find a chart of the symbols, I don’t see it on the pattern? I only see a chart but no symbols it is for the eyelet oval
         pattern in yellow. I don’t see a contact place anywhere on your site for questions, thank you in advance, hope to hear back from you. Have a good day.
