My pattern is asking me to T1. What does that mean. I looked up and the way I read it it's is a M1. Am I correct. I don't understand. Please help

 

[Linday]

The only explanation I could find described T1 as we would do M1. The description of M1 was knit front and back.

Does an increase make sense in the pattern you are working?

 

[jinx]

IT is easier to answer questions about a stitch when we can see the pattern. Can you post a link or give the name of the pattern. Thanks
T1: increase; make a stitch by pulling up a stitch from between the two stitches in the row below.

 

[Jmklous]

That is exactly what I saw. But everyone understands m1 that way so it confuses me. And it don't tell me which way to lean

 

[Jmklous]

I stopped working on it and it's not in the computer it's a book. So I can't post a link

 

[Jmklous]

It's in a top town cardigan pattern. And there is m1 as well that is why I am confused

 

[jinx]

That is confusing. Perhaps they want the M1 to lean one way and the T1 to lean the other way?
I assume you have checked at the beginning of the book or the beginning of the pattern for explanations of abbreviations.
Sometimes even if the pattern is in a book it is also on the internet. That is why I ask for the name. I am not trying to be a nerd, just saying. jinx

 

[Jmklous]

Yeah the m1 is A Kfb. That's what is confusing to me

 

[LadyBecket]

There must be a page in that book that explains what each stitch means. That is just the standard. Please look in the back or front of the book for this page. I'm sure they wouldn't tell you to do something and not explain it. Please look again.

scroll down and it will explain it to u.

Are you saying that in your pattern the M1 is a KFB and the T1 is a M1? Abbreviations can make some patterns a lot harder to do than they need be. jinx

Yeah the m1 is A Kfb. That's what is confusing to me

 

[Jmklous]

Yup thats what I am saying

T very often means twist in the UK. usually there is a list of abbreviations in the pattern.

 

[Ms43]

I googled it as T1 knitting term and a YouTube video called T1 knitting lesson came up.

 

[jonibee]

The only explanation that I found in "The Knitting Directory" was for a T2 or TR meaning twist to right or left(this indicates the direction of the "traveling stitiches"and also includes both knit and purl stitches. Note: sometimes 2 or 3 stitches are sometimes worked without a cable needle. Does your pattern have a cable?

 

[flginny]

I have knitted a pattern in which T was used for TWIST, a simple cable done without a cable needle.

You knit the second stitch on the left needle AND BEFORE you drop that stitch off, you knit the first stitch and drop them both off together.

Does your picture look as if it could be this?

In an old book Mom left me:
TM1---From the BACK of the work, put the working ndl UNDER the thread BETWEEN the st just worked and the next st.
Lift that thread and twist it so that it forms a loop and put it on your holding ndl.
Work the new "stitch" [quotes mine] you have just created.
M1---K1 in the yarn joining two sts as a st.
There was NO "T1"

My pattern is asking me to T1. What does that mean. I looked up and the way I read it it's is a M1. Am I correct. I don't understand. Please help

 

[Torticollus]

I found that T1 means to make a stitch by using the bar of yarn between the stitches and M1 can mean the same thing, but in this case, M1 wants you to make one in the loop behind the next stitch and then in that same stitch.

T1: increase; make a stitch by pulling up a stitch from between the two stitches in the row below


m1: increase by making one; you make a stitch by knitting into the back of a stitch and then knitting the stitch itself
