It's probably p1 in a font where the small Ls look like 1s.

Hi!

I've seen "pl" used before "marker" to indicate you should place a marker at that point in the pattern. And I've seen it used in books and patterns where it's not defined anywhere so you're left to guess or figure it out.

Maybe the writer considered it self-explanatory, but I had to take a bit of thought and time to figure it out! So much for MY-self-explanatory!

Happy Knitting,
Ruthie

Oh, yes... it could mean 'place' as in place marker, they usually use 'pm' for that, but someone may have wanted to be different.
