I am starting to knit a cable scarf.
The first row of the pattern is as follows:
k1, p1, k1; k2, p2, k2, p2; k1, p1, k1; k2, p2. etc.
My question is this - what are the semi colons supposed to mean and how are they different from the commas?

What is the name of your pattern?
The semi-colons may just set off the k1p1 from the k2p2 rib. Perhaps it is something unique to this designer? I haven’t seen it used to signify anything particular in a pattern. It’s possible it’s important for some later change in stitch pattern but if the stitch count adds up, just proceed with the different ribs.
It’s just a simple cable scarf with garter stitch edge so I can’t see how this would make any difference. Thank you for your reply. I am going to ignore the semi colons!
Maybe it is separating the different elements of the scarf that will grow out of the set-up row/s.
k1, p1, k1 = side stitches (probably the same for the whole scarf)
k2, p2, k2, p2 = flows into the first cable from the right (maybe called chart A or cable A)
Just a thought. Not standard knitting notation though, and not much help if the designer doesn’t tell you what it means!
How’s your scarf going? Cable scarves are so lovely and squishy.
