(57) A graph (11,14) for use in knitting (e.g. hand-knitting) an article, such as an article of clothing, has longitudinal (that is, vertical) lines or graduations (13, 13') and transverse (that is, horizontal) lines or graduations (12, 12'), the spacing of the longitudinal lines being even for substantially the whole length of the graph and the spacing of the transverse lines being even for substantially the whole width of the graph but being different from the spacing of the longitudinal lines so that the graph has a uniform, rectangular, non-square mesh. A method of knitting an article includes marking out a pattern, i.e. outline (21, 22, 23) of the knitted article, and also any ornamental or other fabric design matter (18), on the graph and then, using yarn and appropriate needle diameter corresponding to the line spacings of the graph, knitting the article by hand or otherwise using the graph as a guide.
