Abbreviations

Rather than having to add the abbreviations to all the patterns on the blog I thought it may be easier to put them all in one easy place for everyone to see. So here are the most common ones which are used in my patterns:

• CO = cast on
• K or k = knit
• P or p = purl
• Kfb = knit front and back (Knit a stitch, leaving stitch on left needle; knit into the back loop of this stitch)
• Pfb = Purl front and back (purl a stitch, leaving stitch on the left needle; purl into the back of the loop of this stitch)
• K2tog = Knit two stitches together to make one
• Sts or st = stitches
• *.......* = repeat the pattern set within the asterisk
• BO = Bind off
• CC1= Colour 1 (for patterns with contrasting colours the number will indicate a change in colour)

If you get stuck with any stitches or need help with a certain technique then visit this fantastic site, Knitting Help which shows you videos on how to do almost every knitting technique.
