Chart question: When a square is divided in 2 diagionally...

[MinnieMouse]

Hi everyone!
When a square is divided in 2 diagonally with a different symbol on either side, what do i do? An X over 1 on either side?

You do either a quarter stitch or a three-quarter stitch on each side.

Read about that here:

The charts are not always clear when it comes to fractional stitches. Sometimes the symbols are so small they are hard to see. The explanations are poor too.
I've noticed a lot of posts here on the forum about fractionals and the confusion they cause.

Designers. . . please take note.

I agree JA, it can be very confusing. One chart I have has four symbols in one square, never quite decided what to do there other than four quarter stitches which was hell of a faff and why the project is a UFO!!

Another chart has four symbols in one square, two being White squares, the other two being colour, a chart where there are only colours not actual symbols. Took me ages to realise that this meant two 3/4 stitches (as I do them) or s 1/4 and a 3/4 if that is how you do them!!
