Knitting: LC (left cross)
In knitting, LC stands for Left Cross, which is a type of cable or twist stitch. It creates a small crossing where stitches lean or twist to the left, giving a textured, intertwined look to your fabric.
A Left Cross usually means that a certain number of stitches cross in front of others to the left.
You’ll often see it written like LC, 2/2 LC, 2-st LC, etc. The numbers tell you how many stitches are involved.
