This fun scarf can be worn many different ways to provide endless style options. You can wrap it around your neck once, twice, even three times or more! The slipped stitches provide a natural fold that allows for the scarf to fold in half lengthwise and the short rows give this scarf its signature curled appearance.

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.
What do”m” and “pm” mean?
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?
Shar
Where you have m. What does that mean in the pattern.
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
Luvly pattern but what does “pm” and “m” stand for please
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.
What does it mean by cast on 12 stitches pm what does the pm Stand for?
What do “m” and “pm” mean
Having trouble understanding the abbreviations of this scarf pattern. Could you explain them please. Thank you.
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.
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. Very disappointed.
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:

What does m mean? Need code for pattern- thanks
What do the initials mean? I to am an accomplished knitter but am not familiar with these!! Helpl
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!
pm means place marker, I believe
pm means place marker I believe!
could you please explain “wrap stitch” . Thank you,Marge
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.
What does pm mean
Sorry. I don’t understand the abbreviations.
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!
What do the abbreviations mean? I consider myself a fairly experienced knitter, but can not get beyond the abbreviations . Help, please. Thanks!
If you are referring to the pm and sm, they stand for place marker and slip marker.
Abbreviations:
A & B are the 2 colours
pm=place marker
m= marker
sl m= slip marker
kwise=knitwise
pwise=purlwise.
Hope that helps

I think maybe the part about the “working together wrapped stitch in Row 6 is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpUs57uHtGA

The only abbreviations I see are m (marker), pm (place marker), sl m (slip marker), pwise (purl wise), and kwise (knit wise). Are those the ones you wanted?
LOVE the color and look of this, been sick with shingles BUT will be trying this soon. GREAT patterns.
