Translation of Knitting Symbols from Russian to English

• 2 петли вместе лицевой = k2tog (Knit two stitches together). This is a right-leaning decrease.
• 2 петли вместе с наклоном влево = ssk (Slip, slip, knit). This is a left-leaning decrease. It’s the mirror image of k2tog. Alternatively, you could use sl1, k1, psso (Slip 1 knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over), which produces the same result as ssk, but ssk is more concise and common.
• накид = yo (Yarn over)
• шишечка (нуп) из одной петли вывязать 5 петель (лицевая, накид, лицевая, накид, лицевая), повернуть вязание, провязать 5 изнаночных петель, повернуть вязание, = Bobble (Make 5): (k1, yo, k1, yo, k1) into one stitch, turn, p5, turn.
  • Detailed Explanation and Alternative Wording:
    • We can call this “Make 5 Bobble” or “Bobble (Make 5)” to be very clear. It could also just be “Bobble” if this is the only bobble in the pattern.
    • The complete instruction, more verbosely, would be: “To make a bobble, work (knit 1, yarn over, knit 1, yarn over, knit 1) all into the same stitch. Turn your work. Purl the 5 stitches you just created. Turn your work again.”
  • Simplified (and recommended) Instruction: Bobble (Make 5): (k1, yo, k1, yo, k1) in next st, turn, p5, turn.

In Summary:

• 2 петли вместе лицевой = k2tog
