Slip, Slip, Knit

Otherwise known as "SSK"

A type of decrease for intermediate knitters.

 

To SSK:

  1. Slip one stitch knitwise (to do this – place your RH needle into the stitch as if you’re going to knit it then before you knit it slip it off the LH needle onto the RH needle)
  2. Slip the next stitch knitwise  (so both stitches are unknitted and on the RH needle)
  3. Insert the LH needle from left to right through the front loops of both the slipped stitches and knit them the usual way
