Essential Knitting Instructions and Abbreviations for Beginners and Experts

Knitted in a multiple of 2 stitches and a 4-row repeat.

Row Instructions

Row 1 - wrong side: K2, * yf sl 1 yo, k1; repeat from * to end.

Row 2 - right side: K1, * brk 1, k1; repeat from * to last stitch, k1.

Row 3: K1, * yf sl 1 yo, k1; repeat from * to last stitch, k1.

Row 4: K2, * brk 1, k1; repeat from * to end.

Abbreviations

K - knit
P - purl
Yf sl 1 yo - bring working yarn to front under the needle, slip 1 stitch purlwise, bring working yarn over top of needle to the back. That produces a yarn over that crosses over the slipped stitch.
Brk 1 - knit the stitch that was slipped in the previous row together with its yarn over. Because the yarn over wasn't counted as a separate stitch on the previous row, no real decrease is made.
