tog
KnittingTogether
Description
Indicates that multiple stitches are worked simultaneously as a single unit, creating a decrease in the stitch count.
Detailed explanation
In knitting patterns, ‘tog’ stands for ‘together’ and directs you to process two or more stitches at the same time. This technique creates a decrease, effectively reducing the overall width of the fabric for shaping purposes. It typically appears combined with a stitch type and number, such as in ‘k2tog’ (knit two together) or ‘p3tog’ (purl three together).
