A stitch marker is any sort of object that sits around the needles to mark your spot in a pattern. I like to use loops of yarn in a contrasting color for markers; rubber bands or ponytail holders also work. You can buy special stitch markers from a craft store. They don't work any better than loops of yarn but they look fancier.
What else can I help you with?
You are knitting a hat in the rownd K2 P2 you have cast on 88 stiches and you need to know how to decrease evenly Help?
I place stitch markers at even locations around the hat and start by knitting together the purl stitches at that location and either knitting or purling together at the same location, whenever a decrease is required. (check your pattern... if you are decreasing by four stitches a round, then place four stitch markers)
When knitting in the back and front of same stitch or kbf do you get an increase?
Yes, because you are knitting two stitches from the same stitch.

What does pm mean in knitting?
In knitting, "pm" stands for "place marker." It is an abbreviation used in patterns to indicate where to add a stitch marker, which helps knitters keep track of their stitches, pattern repeats, or sections of their work.

How do you do a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting?
To perform a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting, start by making a "make one" (m1) stitch, which involves lifting the yarn between the stitches and knitting into it to create an extra stitch. Next, knit one stitch (k1) as usual. Finally, make another m1 in the same way as the first, lifting the yarn between the newly knitted stitch and the next stitch to create another extra stitch. This sequence adds two new stitches to your row.

How do you use marker when knitting?
To use a marker when knitting, simply place it on your needle at the point where you want to indicate a specific stitch or section. This helps you keep track of pattern repeats, increases, or decreases. When you reach the marker while knitting, you can either move it to the next stitch or slip it off your needle, depending on your pattern instructions. Markers can be removable or fixed, so choose one that best suits your project needs.
What does place interlocking markers on both ends of this row mean in knitting?
Placing interlocking markers on both ends of a row in knitting serves as a way to denote the beginning and end of a specific section or repeat within a pattern. This helps knitters keep track of their progress and ensures they maintain the correct stitch count. It can also aid in identifying where to make increases, decreases, or other pattern changes. Overall, it's a useful technique for maintaining organization and accuracy in complex knitting projects.
How do you make a tomboy stitch?
A tomboy stitch is also known by other names: French knitting, i-cord, or tomboy stitch. You can make your own "french knitting" machine, by using Popsicle sticks (as is done in one of the attached links), and I have seen knitting machines to make i-cords, which is another name for tomboy stitch. I have also found another type of cord--a Lucet cord, which is more of a squared cord, rather than a round cord. Attached is a link to a YouTube video for making a Lucet cord.
