Have just started knitting the mittens from the pattern in the latest Let’s Knit and am stuck already. Can anyone tell me what the abbreviations Lil and Lir mean? I realise I need to increase but how exactly? Thanks.

I would have thought that Lil meant left and Lir right, but just what Li means I have no idea. I don’t think I’ve ever come across it.

If you look at the KnitWise tip on page 63 it tells you what lil is .It is a special abbr for the mitts.

Thanks for the replies. Didn’t even get as far as reading the knitwise tip - just grabbed some wool and started knitting in my usual madcap way. Mitts are in the September issue by the way - only received it yesterday and have already started 3 projects! Too many beautiful things to knit and so little time!
