Same patterns for ornament and pattern.
There are simple patterns by which you can knit patterns and ornaments. An example would be a heart ornament. To obtain it, dark cells of the scheme need to be knitted with threads contrasting with the main fabric. If you want the picture to be brighter, you can knit all the cells in the middle of the heart together with dark ones in a different color.
To obtain a pattern, you can, for example, knit a fabric with purl loops, and dark cells (in the diagram) - facial. As in the case of the ornament, the entire middle of the heart, circled by dark cells, can also be knit with facial loops. This will make the drawing more magnificent.
