Knittingknit over OR knit off
Description
KO refers to “knit over” or “knit off,” typically indicating the action of passing a stitch over another or working stitches from a holder.
Detailed explanation
“Knit off” often functions as a synonym for binding off or instructions to work stitches from a holder or cable needle. “Knit over” generally mirrors the “pass slipped stitch over” (psso) technique used in decreases. The specific mechanical action depends on whether the pattern intends to close an edge or transfer stitches.
