I haven’t found this abbreviation anywhere. Is it the same as SKP?
I working on shaping the armhole of a tank top and the instructions for the decrease read as follows: Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.
Shape Armholes: Bind off 7 sts at beg of the next 2 rows –65(69-75-79-89-99) sts.
Dec Row 1 (RS): K2, K2SP, k to last 5 sts, sl 1, k2 tog, psso, k2 – 61(65-71-75-85-95) sts. Purl 1 row. Rep these 2 rows 3(3-3-3-6-11) times more, end on WS – 49(53-59-63-61-51) sts.
Dec Row 2 (RS): K2, KSP, k to last 4 sts, SSK, k2 – 47(51-57-61-59-49) sts. Purl 1 row. Rep these 2 rows 7(9-11-13-11-6) times more, end on WS – 33(33-35-35-37-37) sts. Bind off all sts for back neck.
I wonder if they have got the knit and slip letters flipped over? It may be s,k,psso and sl1,k2, psso. If you did that would you get the right number of stitches in the next row? And would it give a shape that seems right for this item?
It really SHOULD be in the pattern, maybe try checking for errata online or with the publisher/magazine, if it’s a booklet/book/mag check every single page for the list of abbreviations, they’re so easy to miss. Maybe not every page if it’s a book.
Where’s the pattern from?
They do seem to be decreases, but not the same as Is it the same as SKP because they’re in the too. K2SP is a double increase to match the sl, k2tog, psso at the end, and KSP is a single to go with the SKP. Is there anywhere in the pattern that tells you how do it? If not at the beginning of the instructions, maybe at the end.
