Stitches

What does the little cross or 't' mean in knitting?

I saw it in my knitting instructions and would like to know what it means

1. add a stich
2. 'sorry, I knit a lot but a lot but I'm not sure what you mean. Can you maybe scan and upload the symbol?
3. If you are knitting from a chart than usually the cross is a knit stitch and the minus sign is a purl.
4. *t* can mean several different things, depending on the designer (there is very little standardization of knitting symbols). Your pattern should have a stitch legend somewhere that should define it. I've never seen it used as a knit stitch indicator in a chart, usually a knit stitch in a chart is indicated by a box with no symbol in it. *t* usually means a twisted stitch in single stitch cable crosses made by kntting into the back of a stitch as in *through the back loop*, but can also be a shorthand for together as well.
