STEP-BY-STEP SSK SLIP, SLIP, KNIT

1 Working with the yarn at the back
of your knitting, insert the point of
the right-hand needle into the next
stitch as if to knit, but instead slip
the first stitch onto the right-hand
needle.

2 Now slip the next stitch from the

left-hand needle onto the

right-hand needle in the same way

as for Step 1.

3 Push the point of the left-hand

needle through the front of both the

slipped stitches.

4 Bring the yarn around just as you

would for a knit stitch and knit

these two stitches together. You

will now have a single stitch on the

right-hand needle, and your two

slipped ones will create a

left-leaning decrease.
