@Karenhuntz, the glossary entries for RLI and LLI are listed in the glossary for Knits Accessories 2011, on page 134. They're the second entry in the right-hand column on that page, under the heading Lifted Increases, just above the Raised (M1) increases and just below Knitted Cast-On.

The increases should be on the palm side of your hand for a better fit. Maybe not so clear if you work in a bulky yarn.

RLI -----> right leaning increase

LLI ------> left leaning increase

I believe that's the stitches you're asking about.

too bad this pattern is photographed on the wrong hands (backwards) in the accessories magazine, and the only unusual stitches (RLI and LLI) are supposed to be in glossary, but aren't. If interweave messes up such an easy pattern, why should I trust a complex pattern. Proofread, please!
