I think I had islands on my mind on 12 October—the West Indies, Saint Marie, Puerto Rico . . . This pattern is also named after the letter I because I wove that variation first. (A lot of my patterns come out I-shaped; it’s one way to break up repetitive rows.)
The following patterns use the same two rows over and over.

********************
The other “Isles” variations either have additional rows in their patterns or are only graphed on charts. They’ll take me a little time to type up. I’ll post more of the 16 patterns shortly . . .
I feel dumb for having to ask but what does “P” stand for?
P stands for Plain Weave, the basic under 1, over 1, under 1, over 1… process. You can find the abbreviations defined in the Glossary http://adventuresinpinloomweaving.com/glossary/
You can also find instructions on how to read the charts here: http://adventuresinpinloomweaving.com/2018/08/26/how-to-read-the-pattern-diagrams/
Someone once said they think, “Purl” every time they see the P. Whenever I see a P in a knitting pattern I think of plain weave. In fact, I refer to stockinette stitch as plain weave when talking through a knitting pattern to myself. 🙂
