This is a non-standard abbreviation, which has been selected to give a nice smooth edge to the garter stitch edging. Toworka“s1p"theknitterneedsto: Slip the first stitch of the row as if to purl (so put the needle tip into the front of the stitch, from right to left), moving the first stitch on the left needle on to the right needle, then move the yarn to the back of the work, between the two needles. It is easier to ignore the s1p instruction and simply knit the first stitch of each row, however if you take the time to work the s1p on every row, you will end up with a very crisp edging to your work. の free knitting pattern by kelly brooker for knit . jo · qumint Please respect yourself and designers everywhere by obtaining your own legal copy of this pattern.
