What does C2B. C2F.means in knitting?
C2B = Cable 2 back. C2F = Cable 2 front. Usually you will find the definitions for knitting abbreviations in the header section of your pattern. Although these two abbreviations are fairly common they are often used for different types of cable depending on the design of the garment. C2B could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next two stitches on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next stitch onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the stitch on the cable needle." Your best bet is to check the pattern to find the definition used by the designer. Please note: The general accepted abbreviation C2B (Cross 2 Back) and C2F (Cross 2 Front) are generally formed using method 2 above (i.e., "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle.").

What does passo mean on knitting pattern?
The typical abbreviation is psso and it stands for "Pass the slip stitch over".This stitch is used to decrease and is usually part of the stitch abbreviation SKP, which stands for "slide 1, knit 1, psso"To do this decrease, you want to take your right needle and insert it into the stitch on your left needle and move the stitch to your right needle. So you have just slipped the stitch from one needle to the other, without knitting or purling it.Now you want to knit the next stitch.Then take the slipped stitch and pull it over the knit stitch. This is passing the slipped stitch over the knit stitch, which means that you have 1 less stitch than you did before.
