How to do this:[k1,h2,p2]k2,k2tog,k2,yo,k1,p2,k1,yo,k2,ssk,k2,p3
Hello! This is my first visit to this site. I am a relatively new knitter.
I don’t know h2 what that means，I think it means ‘’hatch stitch‘’？
Welcome!
What is the name of your pattern? There should be a list of abbreviations either at the beginning or end of the pattern.
Welcome to the site. I did a search and I think it is a hatch stitch. Some of the searches I did also called it a cross hatch. I watched a video and it seems that the two stitches trade places on the needle before being knit. I am not a knitter but until one of the other girls gets back to you, it wouldn’t hurt to try. Good luck with your project. You will not be sorry for finding this site. The people here are great.

Thanks for the research, Snowfleas! You’re right about the hatch stitch which looks very handy and is new to me.
There’s a video link in the above which shows the stitch at 2:50.
What is the name of the knitting pattern you’re doing, @vikii?

I don’t know the name of the pattern. It’s the pattern of the blanket. It looks like the pattern in the video. Thank you very much for sharing the video.
This site just wouldn’t be the same without you. I am not able to post pictures and am thankful that you have learned. I do well to use the cut/paste function. I have pictures in my computer in files but can’t get them back out. When things slow down around there I plan to take it to the local library where they give free lessons. I admire the fact that there is rarely a problem that you can’t give the answer or find the answer to. I often come here just to admire your problem solving abilities.

That’s so very kind of you to say. Thank you. I’m glad that you are enjoying the forum and that you are such a helpful contributor yourself.
The “hatch stitch” is simply a SSK followed by a K2tog. I have never heard of this name, but have used this stitch many, many times. When two lines of decreases (going left and right) meet up, there will be this ‘hatch stitch’.
They use two different symbols in the abbreviation list – not sure why they are doing it that way. It just gets confusing!
