It's actually quite simple. Basically, the books you buy will be marked with patterns, and any color lines will have colors on them. Some pictures are black and white, so the colors are matched by yourself. So I suggest you buy a color version of the picture. According to the pattern, it's a picture of a hook slipper. It's a diamond pattern, which is a good choice for beginners.

Because its steps are relatively simple, as long as the "center point" of the toes is found when hooking, this pattern is naturally formed. The first step in reading pictures is to find the "center point" of shoes. Then look at the small "square" in the picture. Each small "square" represents a large needle (that is, a flower shape in which two long needles are hooked in a hole).

Then count the small squares from the bottom. If there are several rows of small squares, tick several rows. The pattern in the picture is separated by only one line. You can tick the second line and the pattern will change. Then according to the position of the center point, count the small squares in the picture, find the number of squares in the pattern, and you can tick it out. This is a chart of butterfly patterns. There are many lines in the small square of this pattern!

You can decide the number of such lines by yourself, starting from the first line. If you want it to rest on your toes, leave two lines. If you want to make it more upward, hook two more lines. This butterfly pattern has five lines (small squares) left blank, starting with the hook pattern in the sixth line. You can tick it according to the picture.

This is a pair of mandarin ducks, and so is it. They all count the small squares below. This hook will be difficult. It is hooked on two paragraphs. One is the water below, and the other is two mandarin ducks. But the "V" line is relatively unified. And the mandarin duck part above is not separated. So as long as you count the squares, you won't miss it.

This is plum blossom, which looks better than the diamond pattern on it. The positions where it crosses and changes lines are not far apart, and almost every line has it. Counting from which position to start empty, from which position to start tick, basically can't be wrong.
