Knitting abbreviation CO stands for cast on. It is the method of putting initial loops on the needles. There are numerous techniques to do this. Not any method will work best for your project, so pick the most suitable one. There are cable cast-ons and long tail and stretchy, and so on. Make sure you use the method specified in the pattern or one you prefer that has the same qualities for best results.
