Is this knitted in the round?

Please explain 7th row. what does "stfrom" mean? Having a difficult time understanding any of 7th rows directions. Thank you. Also, in 9th row, what does "M1" mean?

@sharp9609 Thank you so much for this comment! The "stfrom" is a mistake on our end, it should read "Pick up horizontal loop at WS of st from marked row directly below next st and place on left-hand needle" Hope that helps! Also, M1 means increase a stitch: M1 = Make 1 stitch by picking up horizontal loop lying before next stitch and knitting into back of loop.

Do you ever notice that the comments with questions regarding patterns never get responses?

@millerkassandra With so many patterns on our site, it is hard to keep track of all the comments...and we do try our best to respond to concerns and questions in a timely manner. However, if you find that you're not getting an answer and you need one urgently, please feel free to post a link to the project on our facebook wall and let us know if something needs updating. That's a sure fire way to get our attention! Thanks for your patience! :)

I agree with a few others about wanting a crocheted version of this patter. The instructions did start of saying this was a "wonderful Christmas crochet" pattern, turns out it is a knit pattern. I was disappointed.

@Crafter Sorry about this mistake! I have changed all instances of crochet to knitting. If and when a crochet version becomes available, we'll be sure to add it to the site. Thanks again!

I don't knit, any chance I could get the crocheted pattern emailed to me?

@farmersdau Sorry about this mistake! If and when a crochet version becomes available, we'll be sure to add it to the site. Thanks again!

I am so glad that you did post the knit pattern as I do not crochet. The tree is very cute and I hope to make several. But it was posted incorrect. Thank You Very Much.

Need to proof read your introductions. The project is described as: "Make your kitchen festive this holiday season with this wonderful crochet pattern." Than goes on to give knitting instructions. I was disappointed as I expected a holiday crochet dish cloth to make for next season. Not everyone who crochets also knits. I have enjoyed many of your other projects. If you do have a crochet pattern similar to the knit tree dish cloth I would appreciate it. Thank you.

@latitude27 Sorry about this mistake! I have changed all instances of crochet to knitting. If and when a crochet version becomes available, we'll be sure to add it to the site. Thanks again!
