Detailed explanation
In knitting patterns, ‘foll’ is the standard abbreviation for ‘following.’ It is used to prescribe the frequency of an action, such as increasing or decreasing stitches, over a sequence of future rows (e.g., ‘every foll 4th row’). This term helps condense instructions by setting a relative schedule for repeated techniques without listing every individual row.
