The stitch pattern used for a crochet item can be shown on a diagram. This diagram provides a visual reference of exactly how the stitches that make up the pattern fit together. The diagram uses a different symbol for each type of stitch worked, using tall symbols for tall stitches and short symbols for short stitches, with these symbols being placed together as they would be on the finished work. As with abbreviations, certain symbols are common to many crochet patterns while some symbols are specific to one particular stitch pattern. Each diagram should be accompanied by a key explaining what each symbol means.
