Wait till you try googling SM…
Adding “knitting abbreviation” to the search narrows it down somewhat. wiki suggests s as an abbreviation for slip, so (desperately trying to remember the jargon my mother and sister used to bandy about) knit 1, slip 2?
SM seems to be “slip marker”:
YO - yarn over?
I’d suggest that unless you want your knitting to get wider and wider, it probably means “yarn over, knit two together, put in a slip marker”. That way you go into it with two stitches to go to the point where you put the marker, add one stitch with the YO, take one away with the KS2, and end up with the same number of stitches on the the row and an ornamental hole.
I think it must be another way to say SSK: “slip two stitches knitwise individually, then knit them together through the back loop”.
I think you are right, but without a full pattern row (and one presumes it is more complicated than ‘make little holes all the way along’ otherwise markers would not be involved) one cannot advise with amy confidence.
Jutke cardigan- lion brand yarns on ravelry
I like the look of it for lemming coloured chenille
Jutka?
So it must mean
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them together–1 st decreased.
as I thought, what I call “k2tog tbl”.
Pleasing pattern.
It’s a nice pattern for the chenille to be a bed jacket for hospital
I am on first twelve inches down the back
Right folks
Yo has come
I wrap the needle and knit2 don’t I?
Look at the instructions above!
no, all right:
YO. KS2. SM
means wrap the wool round
then knit two together through the backs of the loops
then put in a stitch marker
(or a bit of wool of a different colour, or however else you mean to mark the place on the row after the yo ks2)
You might prefer
YO: wrap the wool round - 1 st increased
ssk (slip, slip, knit): Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them together–1 st decreased.
then put in a stitch marker
I am now stumped
K19 yo k1 yo ks2 yo k1 pm k1 yo k19
I have 64 stitches to the end of the row
I could go and have a look at the pattern, I suppose, but I am a little busy at this minute. Half an hour?
Would you
Yes please
I have done the back
I might been meant to cast off rather than cast on at the beginning of the next rows to shape shoulders and arms

Hello Twellsy.
Thanks TFM
I want to do a large peacock embroidered with beads that you sew on rather than the stick on paint by numbers that seem to be all I can find
I cannot find an iron transfer
Help please as it’s what I want from Santa
Not my thing really, but do you mean something like this?
Oh, and there’s another one.
Perfect TFM
I like number 2
with 2 babies to practise on
Not to Hiss on yer Chips, Twellsy, but are you going to wear an lighted magnifier to do this, or have it enlarged to Buggery?
I would have problems in both the dexterity & sight departments with this, & I don’t have your problems.I wonder if a larger ‘multi media’ thing would work -I mean something larger,wiv stitching, beads & big Squeakwins
Steps back smartly having mentioned Squeakwins…
