Hi all

Can anyone help me? I am teaching myself to knitand I am struggelng to read a pattern the instruction is as follows

[k1,k fb, K to one stitch before next marker, k fb k1 into marked st]

I am ok with marked stitches but I am not sure if the only k fb stitches are the first and last ones or does it mean alternate a k stitch with a k fb stitch.

Does this make any sense or am i reading it all wrong?

started my scarf last night, its slow going, but easy pattern to remember
welcome mrs veg plot, the pattern reads to me, as , the kfb are the first and last stitches, and the rest are knit. hopefully somebody else will be along soon to give us the correct answer
hugs all

My interpretation is as follows:
Knit the first stitch, Knit front and back into next st (this results in an increase), knit up to the stitch before the marker, knit front and back into next st (another increase), and knit the marked st.

It's not easy to interprete without seeing the whole pattern in context, but I hope this helps. In knitting patterns, brackets are used to group a set of stitches together, usually when they are going to be repeated. By the way, there's a comma missing after your second 'fb'.

(Sig is totally out of date as I've not posted for so long!)

It would seem I am trying to swim in porridge...............getting no where fast either. I really will get around to catching up ....DH is off shortly so I will have middle of the night time to be on the pooter and get the jobs all done.

Love and cuddles to you all, will pop in when I can.....

Lismarlilmia I got your beautifully wrapped parcel today, it was so pretty. The hats are perfect, we work on any size from one that fits on a golfball upwards. I have finished my Sibol blanket and will post it on Saturday Mrs Twins - the blanket on E bay is so beautiful it should raise lots, wonderful idea x
