I was reading an article on different types of toe’s on socks. I’m not sure what they mean by MRK as I haven’t ever seen this knitting abbreviation.
Rnd 1: Knit.
Rnd 2: *K1, M1R, knit to 1 st before mrk, M1L, K1; rep from * to end of rnd.
Repeat these two rounds until you have the desired number of stitches.
Does anyone know what they mean?
Hi! M1R mesns to
M1L or M1front
M1R
MRK?
I was trying to give her the links but i am not sure how to post them like you did, could you explain so i can help otherd in the future?
There are a couple of ways to link to another site. You can insert a hyperlink using the chain link icon in the reply box, 4th from the left in the header or you can copy and paste a URL into the reply post.
mrk = marker
Thanks for your help
To post a link you highlight the address bar at the top of the page you are on and then copy it, then if you are on your phone or tablet you do a long press in the reply box here and paste it into the box. That’s how I add links when I am replying to someone on here.
Just copy and paste
I know I have never seen MRK. Thank you for the links. I know how to M1L & M1R but have not see make one away.
None of my toe up patterns call for a marker, so do I just ignore the MRK?
Can you quote the row that calls for the marker?
salmonmac I was reading an article on the ways you can do the toe’s on the socks. I was interested in making a pair of socks with a round toe.

This was the instructions for the round toe. It will produce a blunter wedge toe by casting on more stitches then following the same instructions.
The patterns that I have don’t call for a marker. I was just wanting to make the toe’s rounded on my toe up socks. Which call for kfb increases. I was just confused this the term MRK. It’s not from a pattern but an article for a guide to use when making socks.
Reading the line below the photo in your original post, I’m going with the marker is keeping your spot for increasing. I did round toes once, didn’t like them much so haven’t done them again. YMMV of course since your feet aren’t my feet. 
I’ve seen YMMV a couple of times now. What does that mean?
Knitting jargon for “your mileage may vary”.
The mrk means marker. You are to knit up to the stitch just before your marker.
Thank you
