A Row Map is a printable checklist that accompanies each row in a knitting pattern. It provides clear guidance to the knitter, indicating which row they are currently working on, the corresponding written instruction to follow, and the recommended color to use. All you need to do is check off each row as you complete it, allowing the Row Map to seamlessly guide you from start to finish.
I created my first Row Map to make knitting more accessible for individuals experiencing the cognitive challenges associated with "chemo brain." I shared this Row Map with Melanie Berg, a knitwear designer and cancer survivor who instantly understood its value, and a new cancer awareness initiative was born.
Row maps are included in a variety of Melanie Berg patterns and are our gift to you. If you find them helpful, please consider making a donation to a cancer research organization that best aligns with your heart. Links to organizations that are meaningful to us are included below, as well as a sample Row Map and selection of patterns that include a complimentary Row Map.
We believe that with the help of a Row Map, all knitters facing concentration challenges can confidently pick up their needles and continue knitting with ease. We thank you in advance and are grateful to include you in this beautiful initiative.
Happy knitting!!! ❤️🙏🧶
