Instructions for following 3d chart patterns

Every now and again you may come across a 3d beading pattern that is created in a chart form.  They are usually written in Chinese or Korean.  Here are the instructions for how to follow them written in English. 
There are also some variations to this, but this at least gives a good starting place.

If anyone knows of any errors or things to add, please let me know.

Note:  These images are just examples and not an actual pattern.


The above image shows an example of a real pattern



You work one circle at the time, marked by the number in Row A.  Start with row B, then work row C.  Then cross the LEFT thread through the last bead to make the total for row D.  The whole 4 rows of the chart create one circle of beads.

The images below the chart examples show the exact same instructions using the more common pattern method.

Note: Sometimes characters are used for LEFT and RIGHT or for the colours



This first table shows the very basic information that is sometimes seen in the first part of the pattern
This section above the table will give information like size of beads, colour to start with, etc


 


























This shows some more advanced entries that are found in the B row
B row almost always means you need to go through beads already there, and almost always on the Left thread.  A “-“ in between two numbers means both threads are used.















































More advanced entries in the C row

The C row tells what needs to be added, usually to the RIGHT thread, unless otherwise stated.






















 















Working with colour

Colours are shown by either a character or a circle in a particular colour.  Usually there is a key at the start of the pattern.

  













To sum up:  B  means to go through beads already there, and on the LEFT
C  means add beads, on the RIGHT
D means cross left thread through last bead, to give this total number of beads.
