      It means K2tog through the back loop. I have updated to post to reflect that.

    Why isn’t it possible to pin a picture on the how-to-knit site onto pinterest?
    It would be a nice way for you to advertise.

    • Johnny Vasquez says:

      There is a Pin It button under the title on every stitch post. So it is possible. We use Pinterest frequently to promote our tutorials.

        I am sorry for the inconvenience.
        It must have been a problem on my laptop because now the button is suddenly there..
        I have experienced the same problem several times before, so I thought the problem was yours.
        Thank You!
