Description
An instruction to proceed with the established stitch pattern or sequence without deviation, often used to extend a section for a specific length.
Detailed explanation
This abbreviation directs the maker to keep working in the current manner, maintaining the stitch pattern set in previous rows or rounds. It typically appears in phrases like ‘cont in patt’ (continue in pattern) or ‘cont until piece measures X cm,’ implying that no new shaping or stitch changes should occur unless specified. This saves space in written patterns by avoiding the repetition of full instructions for established sections.
