Hi,

I'd be happy to help. M stands for "marker" or your stitch marker. So (pm) means place marker, "move m up" means to move the marker up from the stitch it is marking to the stitch in the same place on the next row, and (bet 2 m) mean "between 2 markers". Inc is a shortened form of increase. And bottom ridge loop is the loop or strand that you will see if you look at the bottom of your chain.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Toni
