Hello,
I’m new here 
I’ve been knitting for probably around 40 years, and I’ve never done a pattern that had a slip stitch in the same position row after row. It’s in a japanese pattern from pierrot yarns. This is possibly a really silly question, but I can’t just slip the stitch forever - do I slip it in the odd rows and then include it in the pattern in the even rows ie generally a purl stitch?
The symbol for slipped stitch in the pattern chart is a V in a square (each square is a stitch) - in this chart - the V is over two rows - the same stitch position. The next two rows have another V. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t seem to find an explanation 
The slip stitch is in the middle of the row, not at the end - so it’s part of the pattern of the coat - it’s very heavily cabled as well.
Any advice is very very welcome - I’m making this for my daughter over our summer holidays.
Thankyou!
Susan
Hello
Those Japanese patterns are lovely, which are you making? Can you share a link to where the pattern can be bought/found please.
This link is in Japanese but has pictures for some of the stitches
https://www.knitting-bee.com/knitting-tutorials/chart-knitting-symbols/japanese-knitting-symbols-illustrated
And I found your symbol and cropped the page to make it clearer
It’s worked across two rows with the first row being worked (a purl on the wrong side to poduce a knit on the right side) nd the second row the stitch is slipped purl wise.
I kept another symbol in the cropped image as a comparison.
On the second symbol a V above a _ the 2 rows consist of the first row being worked as a knit on the wrong side to produce a purl on the right side, the purl bump can be seen in the finished stitch, and on the second row the stitch is slipped purlwise.
You are correct that you can’t keep slipping, it’s just those two rows make up the finished stitch, don’t slip on the first row, slip on the second to complete the stitch symbol.
We’d love to see your progress, swatches or finished project.
Hope this helps.

Thankyou so much! This is a great help.
The pattern is on Ravelry Ravelry: Fontaine Hooded Jacket pattern by Pierrot (Gosyo Co., Ltd) It’s by Pierrot yarns. I’m using the yarn mentioned in the pattern in a dark plum (not the brick red on ravelry).
When I make some progress, I will definitely post an update. Thankyou again for your help - I was really quite stuck. Have a lovely holiday season.
