Hi
I have been looking for some easy patterns on the web so I can start knitting but I have come across a lot of sts. For example 3 sts. per inch.
What does sts stand for?
stitches…
3 stiches per inch in stocknette means that you have 3 v’s in an inch

Sts generally means stitches. So it would be three stitches per inch to use your example. I think they have a knitting glossary on the site with different terms listed with the abbreviations.
Another thing you might find using the “st” is “st st”. If you find that it means stockinette stitch. To make stockinette stitch you would knit a row and purl a row alternately on flat knitting, so that it has the vees usually associated with knit items on one side and a bumpy appearance on the other side.
