If you Cast On 5 stitches .. then knit 3 of the 5 that you just cast on .. then yarn over ( this will make a stitch) .. then knit the next 2 stitches .. you will have 6 stitches instead of 5 stitches you cast on because you yarned over one .. you just read it differently then they meant .. after the word knit 2 replace the word"to" with " then you will have" 6 ..
It probably means you are knit 6 stitches, purl 6 stitches
as far as in knitting and crocheting goes, it means to repeat from here. so for example, cast on bla bla bla stitches and *knit. the * means to knit again. get the jist?
P2 means purl two stitches as K2 means knit two stitches.
knit 19 stitches or rows (depending on the context)
In knitting, k2tog is an abbreviation for "Knit Two Stitches Together," or simply "Knit Two Together."
"Knit 1, purl 2" is a common stitch pattern in knitting that instructs the knitter to perform one knit stitch followed by two purl stitches in a repeating sequence. This creates a textured fabric, often used in various projects like scarves or blankets. The pattern's rhythm helps establish a unique look, combining the smoothness of knit stitches with the texture of purl stitches.
In knitting, "rib 2 tog" refers to a specific decrease technique used in ribbing patterns. It means to knit two stitches together in a ribbed section, typically where the ribbing alternates between knit and purl stitches. This decrease will reduce the number of stitches in that row while maintaining the ribbed texture. It is commonly used to shape garments or create a decorative element in the knit fabric.
In knitting, a rib is a type of stitch pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches (For instance, Knit 1, purl 1 or knit 2, purl 2). This technique creates vertical, textural stripes called ribs. There are many variations on rib stitches.

In knitting, "purlways" typically refers to the direction or pattern created by purl stitches. When you knit a piece with alternating knit and purl stitches, the purl stitches create a textured, raised effect on the fabric. This technique is commonly used in ribbing and various stitch patterns to add depth and interest to the knitting project. The term is not widely used but may describe areas where purl stitches dominate.
It just means to knit (the knit stitch) for 3 rows. No increases, no decreases, no pattern stitches.
C2B = Cable 2 back. C2F = Cable 2 front. Usually you will find the definitions for knitting abbreviations in the header section of your pattern. Although these two abbreviations are fairly common they are often used for different types of cable depending on the design of the garment. C2B could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next two stitches on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next stitch onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the stitch on the cable needle." Your best bet is to check the pattern to find the definition used by the designer. Please note: The general accepted abbreviation C2B (Cross 2 Back) and C2F (Cross 2 Front) are generally formed using method 2 above (i.e., "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle.").
Perhaps you mean mitred squares? Decreasing in the middle causes a diamond shape (in fact more like ever-decreasing V's) to develop. # Cast on an odd number of stitches. Knit until you reach the middle three stitches. Slip one stitch, knit two together, pass the slipped stitch over the end of the right hand needle. Knit to the end of the row. # Knit the next row from start to finish with no decreases. # Repeat these two rows until you have one stitch left and then snap the yarn and pull it through the stitch to cast off.
