Even after nearly 50 years of knitting there will still be the odd abbreviation on a pattern that will completely throw me and I won't have a clue what it means. I would like to put together a comprehensive list of abbreviations that may be helpful to someone visiting my blog. If you know of an unusual abbreviation that may be useful to add please leave me a comment below and I will add to the list.
