    Not sure what you mean by “working tog wrapped st”. Is there a You-Tube video that explains the stitch?

    Looked over the pattern, hope to try it soon. I’ve seen your abbreviations before so I shouldn’t have a problem. When I run across a new abbreviation I just google it and usually find loads of explanations! Love the look of this pattern, thank you.

  • otg= together
    knot to m(or any m) means MARKER
    SL = SLIP
    ST= STITCH
    PWISE= on the purl side

    I am an experienced knitter. Think PM = place marker; m= marker; Sl m = slip the marker

    Is that right?

  • Hi-as the previous comments regarding the pattern, I would really appreciate it if you are able to elaborate on the abbreviations please? PM/SM ?? Any help would be appreciated thankyou

    Reply
  • Does ‘pm’ in the set up row mean ‘set marker’? and ‘m’ in subsequent rows mean ‘marker’ meaning the stitch the marker is placed at?
    I do not know what ‘wrap stitch’ means, how is this done, does anyone know please?

  • What abbreviations are you having trouble with? It helps if you would tell us where you are having difficulty. I don’t see any abbreviations that are different than the standard.

    Was looking forward to starting this scarf but on reading the pattern found I did not (like other comments) understand the abbreviations and I have been an accomplished knitter for over 40 years. Could you please explain them and then I can have a go at the pattern. Thank you.

  • Adorable pattern and instructions clear to me. I’m not that experienced a knitter. Maybe an Intermediate knitter.
    I read the abbreviations as:
    m = Marker
    sm = slip marker to other needle (not in pattern)
    sl m = slip marker to other needle

    How to Knit a Wrap Stitch (go to youtube and enter “How to Knit a Wrap Stitch” for a visual.)
    Step 1: Slip the next stitch after your turning point onto your working needle.

    Step 2: Wrap your working yarn around the slipped stitch.

    Step 3: Slip the stitch back to your main needle.

    Step 4: Turn your work and continue knitting in the opposite direction.

    Once you are ready to knit over your wrapped stitches, pick up the wrap and place it onto your main needle, then knit the wrap and the wrapped stitch together.
    Just one of many youtube examples:

    Yup, I am mystified also…no key to the abbreviations, and no answer to questions submitted a year ago this time! Looks like a fun pattern, but I guess I will never know!

    Please explain the abbreviations. I have been knitting for a long time, and I am afraid that I do not understand what you mean when you use the abbreviation “m”

  • What does pm and m mean? Never saw these abbreviations in all the patterns I’ve used.

    I was immediately taken when I saw the photo but this is perhaps one of the most difficult patterns I’ve yet to read. I’m disappointed.

  • Please explain the abbreviations …they are difficult for me to understand and I consider myself a fairly experienced knitter. Thank you!
