OK maybe I am overly tired and just not understanding this. I have a pattern that has a symbol in it with an explanation of sl 2 tog knitwise, k1,[B]p2ssp tog.[/B] I got everything up to the [B]p2ssp tog[/B] part. I doubled checked and it is not a typo for psso as there is another symbol for that in the pattern. Any help with an explanation of this would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Ed
What’s the name of the pattern? I think it’s sl2, k1, pass 2 sl st tog over the k 1. It’s more involved than how it’s usually written which would be s2kp2sso.
Thanks for the response Sue
It is the Isodora Shawl from Fiesta Yarns (Fall/Winter 2009)
I understadn it if it was sl2, k1, pass 2 sl st tog over the k 1, but the p2ssp is what is confusing me becasue out of all the books I have and searching the internet, I can not find a term for that abbreviation. If I do nt figure it out, it will become a s2kp2sso! lol
I think ‘p2ssp’ is just made up by the designer to mean ‘pass 2 sl st purlwise’ but she should have explained it if she’s going to use something that’s not a standard abbreviation.
I totally agree with you Sue. The funny thing is that in the back with all the other abbreviations, that particular one is not listed. That is what I am going to do with it.
Tahnks again.
