Knitting abbreviations KO

I am knitting a chemo cap and one of the knitting abbreviations is K0. I don't know what this means.

Thank you.

YOUR ANSWER

Hi Mary

Is the abbreviation KO or K0?

If it is KO then I'm afraid I have no idea as I have never seen this abbreviation before, but is it is K0 (as in K zero) then it means to knit 0 stitches.

You see this quite often in patterns with multiple sizes. With a repeating pattern each size will start at a different point in the pattern and occassionally one of the sizes starts at the beginning of the repeating pattern.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

K-O not K0
by: BeeBops53

I too have encountered this tonight while knitting mitten @ thumb tip

*K2 tog, K2,repeat from * across row ending with
K-O ( K 0, K 2 tog )
K2 tog, K-O )

K dash Capital O is different from parantheses
K space #0

my book says:
K-O .. Do not work st.row,or round

I don't understand this can anyone help ??

All this means is that you start the instructions in the brackets right from the first stitch.

Notice the different look and feel on some pages?

I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.

So in the meantime, I hope you will forgive the switch from one look to another as you navigate through the site...
