no stitch in a pattern means at the start of a pattern especially in a graph there is an area will some stitches will not yet exist so just ignore them as they don't exist .. later on you will add by make one , yarn over or cast on or some other method and those no stitches will then become real stitches and become part of the pattern
A marked stitch is a stitch where you have placed a knitting marker. A pattern may tell you to place a marker at a certain stitch, and to do some particular thing in a subsequent row when you come to that marked stitch.
Yes, because you are knitting two stitches from the same stitch.
Cross stitch is a form of embroidery. (Cross stitch designs are done on grids, so they look like they might be for knitting. You could probably use some cross stitch designs for intarsia or fair isle color knitting.)
slip 1 - insert needle into stitch as normal then just pull it off the left needle onto the right without knitting or purling it
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.
Skp is short form for skip, when you see it in a pattern it means to skip a stitch.
There are many kinds of stitches in knitting. There is normal stitch, purl stitch, garter stitch, stockinette stitch, ribbing stitch, seed stitch and lots more. Loads of stitches are actually made up of other stitches merged, chopped and changed.
It usually means "make 1" stitch, and is considered an increase. How you perform the increase depends on the pattern. Some knit throught the front and back of the same stitch. Some lift the yarn between the last and current stitch onto the left needle, then knit it through the back loop.
Yes.
Purling is knitting the purl stitch.
Stocking Stitch (knit a row, purl a row, repeat)
Stocking stitch is a basic knitting pattern where the first row in knit and the second row is purled. These two rows are repeated to make the pattern. The "front" side of the fabric will look like a series of Vs, while the "back" looks like a bunch of bumpy ridges.
