Text, symbols & table:
I’ve presented the pattern in three ways: through text, symbols, and a table. Text and symbols are common in crochet patterns. However, I find it most convenient to read grid patterns, like the Elías blanket, from a table. When I designed the pattern and was crocheting according to it, I drew it on grid paper and then wrote on the paper how many double crochet stitches I should make between the empty grids. That’s why I decided to include this table.

The text is the foundation of the pattern, and all the information is presented in the text. If you’re reading the pattern from the symbols or the table and are unsure about the number of stitches or repetitions, check to see what is stated in the text.
