Teach Yourself Visually Knitting

(Michael S) #1

3 Insert the left needle into the fronts of both slipped stitches and then knit
them as 1 stitch.


Decrease


1 Stitch (continued)


You can see that the slip, slip, knit decrease slants subtly to the left.

This decrease is practically invisible. It is worked on the front side of a piece of
knitting, and it slants to the left. If you want to shape your knitting on both sides
symmetrically, you can begin the row with a slip, slip, knit and end the row with a
knit 2 together.


1 Insert the right needle from front to back into the front of the next stitch
on the left needle and slip it onto the right needle.


2 Repeat step 1.


You have slipped 2 stitches from the left needle to the right needle.
