Pm is "place marker" - which means you put a marker between those stitches indicated.

SM is "Slip Marker" - that's what's done to the above mentioned marker every time you get to it.

Markers are usually to either remind you of where your new round begins when knitting in the round. Or, to help you remember when to do something - such as the top of a hat-

*knit until last 2 stitches before marker and K2tog* repeat to end (you usually use one color to show end of round and a different color to mark all of the places you will be decreasing.)

You can buy several types of stitch markers such as - plastic solid rings, plastic coated slip rings, beaded ones like dangily earrings, or you can make your own!

To make your own stitch markers you can use loops of contrasting yarn or you can cut 1/8 of an inch pieces of a straw. I use the straw markers when I need one to look different than the others. If you are using extremely large needles like #19, 35 or 50's you can use plastic rings found in the drapery section of a fabric store. Be creative!
