I think the best shorthand version I've come up with is, "It's just a spaceholder, like the black boxes on crossword puzzle diagrams," and usually that's sufficient to make the lightbulb come on, but if I ever run across someone for whom that doesn't do it, now I'll know where to send them.

Yes-- they are like black boxes in crossword puzzles. I never have trouble explaining this in person. I just think it's a big like shortrows. The people who don't "get" it are sort of internally sure that the boxes <i>must</i> tell you to do something. (With short rows, they are internally sure you never turn before knitting all the stitches.) So, sometimes, no matter what you say, they are stumped. Anyway, I suspect the search engines will send people here. It's sort of like my articles on short rows! Thanks! Yes– they are like black boxes in crossword puzzles.

I have never come across a pattern with no stitch before. But when I do (If I ever do something that complicated) I will come back here. Interesting!

I have scoured all my books, the internet and read my pattern over and over again. Like Mary said, its isn't explained anywhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
