Knitting abbreviations
Knitting abbreviations are like secret codes that help knitters understand the instructions in their patterns. It's like when you and your friends have a secret language that nobody else understands!
For example, one knitting abbreviation you might see is "K". That means "knit". So if the instructions say "K1, P1", it means you should knit one stitch, then purl one stitch.
Another common abbreviation is "YO", which means "yarn over". This is when you wrap your yarn around the needle to create a new stitch.
Some other abbreviations you might see include "CO" (cast on), "BO" (bind off), "RS" (right side), and "WS" (wrong side).
Don't worry if it seems confusing at first - just keep practicing and eventually you'll be a knitting expert, decoding these abbreviations like a pro!
