kt1pl2 I'm glad I could help. Now give yourself a pat on the back for being persistent and getting out there and finding a solution! That's half the battle right there.
OMG... lol I am so happy I learned to crochet many years ago because seeing this now. I would have given up at 3 minutes. It's a bit confusing but I will watch this over and again I am sure. I am wanting to cable stitch a beanies and scarf to see how I handle this. I am new to knitting. Only 3 days in but I been crocheting for more than 20 years. Thanks you!!!
Hi MrsBree78, it can be a difficult transition moving from one needle art to the other but don't give up! Each one has better uses for certain things so it's nice to do both. If I can help in any way feel free to email me. I'm going to try and be sneaky and tell u my email address so that the spammer bots can't get it. You might be able to get it thru google+ but I know absolutely zero about that so I'm sure it would be a big fail if I tried to explain that. Anyway the first part of my email address is the name of this RUclips channel without the apostrophes and then the last part is @gmail.com. So if you need help, just email. That is a much more trustworthy method. RUclips seems to not send out notices on all the comments.
I thank you very much. I really appreciate that. I will definitely keep that in mind.I know I will be in need of help. BTW...is there a site I can get a pdf of the stitchtionary for most stitches and the variations of how they are charted? Thanks again.
That's easy. But some patterns are difficult. I can't figure out some patterns as to know patterns with out row. Trescao jumper patterns on ravelry is headache for me. Thanks for
i have been looking at this one pattern for a blanket (www.favecrafts.com/Knit-Afghans/Simple-Chunky-Blanket-from-Bernat) and i could not for the life of me grasp how to read the pattern. You explained it very well and I think I can attempt to tackle it ^^ but at the end of this pattern it says "Rep last 24 rows for Stairs pat until work from beg measures approx 52 ins" What does the stairs pat mean?
Hello Anna kim, again I apologize for not responding. I wasn't notified of your comment. Given that you wrote 4 months ago :/ I hope that you have been able to knit your afghan and move on to something else. If by chance you haven't then here's your answer: it could read like this and be just as clear "Rep last 24 rows until work from beg measures approx 52 ins". I guess to make it short(ish) and sweet, I'm saying to just ignore the "stairs pat" reference and just repeat the last 24 rows until it measures 52". What the reference to the stairs pat actually means is repeat the last 24 rows over and over to continue to form the stairs pattern that has been forming in the previous rows. I hope that makes sense. If not just let me know.
It certainly sounds like that's what they are saying. I do find that odd which I believe you do as well. If your pattern gives you any stitch counts at the end of your decreases you can do some math. Fun fun! Sounds like you're decreasing 1 st per row so if you know how many rows you're working you'll be losing that same number in stitches. Pattern writers don't appreciate stitch counts like they should. It helps keep knitters on track.
This is great but I'm a true beginner. I don't know what a stitch or a pearl or a loop is lol. Do you have any videos that show you working with yarn to show how to do those actions?
You can find all my videos here: ruclips.net/user/LetsKnitYallvideos. I'm pretty sure that won't come up as a clickable link so you can click on Let's Knit Y'all right under the title of the video above (on a pc). Start with casting on, then move to knit, then purl. Good luck!
I have a very old Coats and Clark pattern that has the following: 3rd to 7th rows incl: Knit each row. What does the incl mean? You have helped me before, hope you can again.
Yes, you will slip 1 st then knit across the row and do that for rows 1 thru 200. The slipped st at the beginning of each row will give you a nice edge.
Where did you find your sheet and she would like to have one I don't know the abbreviations or anything when it knitting when I looking at Paner and just kind looks like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to me I can't figure it out so she would like to have that sheet you got that will probably help me out much can you tell me where you got it
Trina, I am so sorry that I have not replied to you! I didn't get an email from RUclips telling me I had a new comment. I hope that you were able to find the information that you needed. If not here is the page that I pulled my info from: www.craftyarncouncil.com/knit.html Remember that abbreviations can and will vary from different sources. If you need any help, just email me.

How do I do this instruction: 45 stitches cast on: K1 (P1, K1) twice, (P1, K4) across to last 5 stitches K1 (P1, K1) twice. I'm confused because if I follow the K1 (P1, K1) and do that twice, I need 6 stitches left on the needle; and if I only do the ( ) twice, then only 4 stitches are used and there's one remaining. ???
Catherine Cooper you will k1, then work what is in the parentheses twice using a total of 5 sts (4 within the parentheses plus the first k1). The end will work with the same idea.
It all depends on where the first * is. From you question I believe you are saying that the instructions read 3k, 2p, * xxxxxxxxxx* repeat from * to *. If this is true then the 3k 2p would NOT be included in the repeat from * to *. It would only be included if it read * 3k, 2p, xxxxxxxxxx *, repeat from * to *. Let me know if this didn't help and I'll try again. Also refer back to around the 8 minute mark in the video. I very briefly touch on * to *.
how can this knitting instruction be read. *(P 2 tog) 2 times, invisible increase (inc), (k 1, inc). what I don't understand is the invisible increase. Please help
If these instructions are within an actual printed book, you should find a definition somewhere within the book. If they are from an online pattern, it should be there also but more often than not it won't be. I'm assuming since you're asking me neither of these things are true. I don't have a video for one but if you follow this link I believe it will serve the purpose. techknitting.blogspot.com/2007/05/very-nearly-invisible-increase.html?m=1
If the 0 times is correct then you should basically just skip it as if it weren't there. Since I don't have the rest of the instructions, it's not clear to me why it's even included in the instructions. I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out.
m not v good english speaker im working on apattern in english one phrase i can't understand what exactly it mean in knitting pattern can u explain it for me in simpel way Work a further 4 rows Work a further 9 rows
In this case, "further" could also translate to "more" or "additional". Work 4 more rows. Or Work 4 additional rows. I hope that makes it clearer for you.
I was crying I was getting so frustrated but now you've shown me exactly where I went wrong so thank you so much for that.
kt1pl2 I'm glad I could help. Now give yourself a pat on the back for being persistent and getting out there and finding a solution! That's half the battle right there.
Excellent teaching tutorial. I know this, but still learned more. Reading knitting instructions reminds me so much of an Algebra problem.

Minute9 you explained exactly what I needed, thanks
this was SO helpful!! thank you!!!
That's easy. But some patterns are difficult. I can't figure out some patterns as to know patterns with out row. Trescao jumper patterns on ravelry is headache for me.
Thanks for

How do I interpret this?

what's the meaning of dec 1st at neck edge in every row. means Rs and Ws both side I should reduce one sticj
It certainly sounds like that's what they are saying. I do find that odd which I believe you do as well.

thank you so much this is very helpful for a beginner! x
I have a very old Coats and Clark pattern that has the following: 3rd to 7th rows incl: Knit each row. What does the incl mean? You have helped me before, hope you can again.
Incl would be short for including. So I would take that to mean including the 7th row.
+Let's Knit Y'all Thank you.
If the instructions say as follows: cast on 100 sts. 1st to 200th rows incl: Sl 1, k across; does that mean to Sl on each row?
Yes, you will slip 1 st then knit across the row and do that for rows 1 thru 200. The slipped st at the beginning of each row will give you a nice edge.
Thank you for your easy instructions!

@@LetsKnitYall Thank you! It works great!
Very helpful for me as a beginner
when instruction is from * to *, then first 3 k, 2p and then * starts. so 3k and 2p also have to repeat? I have not understood
It all depends on where the first * is. From you question I believe you are saying that the instructions read 3k, 2p, * xxxxxxxxxx* repeat from * to *. If this is true then the 3k 2p would NOT be included in the repeat from * to *.
It would only be included if it read * 3k, 2p, xxxxxxxxxx *, repeat from * to *.
Let me know if this didn't help and I'll try again. Also refer back to around the 8 minute mark in the video. I very briefly touch on * to *.
Thank you for explaining 👍👌😊 I have a Question.It says Kfb and I did that,then k 10? Does k 10 mean,to add 10? 😳🤔
No. K10 would just mean knit the next 10 sts as if the Kfb wasn't there. Kfb is an increase of one st so you'd be adding an additional 10 sts.
Thank you very much💫
I only started with 11 sts.
how can this knitting instruction be read. *(P 2 tog) 2 times, invisible increase (inc), (k 1, inc). what I don't understand is the invisible increase. Please help
If these instructions are within an actual printed book, you should find a definition somewhere within the book.

Very helpful
What does (k2 p2)×0 times mean
If the 0 times is correct then you should basically just skip it as if it weren't there. Since I don't have the rest of the instructions, it's not clear to me why it's even included in the instructions. I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out.
Thank you very helpful!!!
'Thank you very much for sharing.'
m not v good english speaker im working on apattern in english one phrase i can't understand what exactly it mean in knitting pattern can u explain it for me in simpel way
Work a further 4 rows Work a further 9 rows
In this case, "further" could also translate to "more" or "additional".
Work 4 more rows.
Or
Work 4 additional rows.
I hope that makes it clearer for you.
thank you v much
Omg this is so hard 😩
