This is the first Chart I have used so any help would be great.:muah:

When a slip stitch is part of a decrease, which this is, you slip it knitwise.

#3

So I slip a stitch knit a stitch and then pull the slipped stitch over the knit one like when you bind off?

#4

Yes, you slip a stitch knitwise, knit a stitch, and then slip the slipped stitch over the knit stitch and drop it off the needle just like binding off. Slip, knit, pass is a common decrease on the left side of a pattern and is usually paired with a k2tog on the right side.

#5

I think you’ve got your lefts and right mixed up, as far as which side of the piece they go on. Maybe you meant the skp is a left leaning one (toward the middle) and k2tog is a right leaning one.

#6

So sorry, you’re right suzeeq. Please forgive my confusion.

#7

Hey it can get really confusing when people start talking about lefts and rights. Or it that the tea hand and the cookie hand?

#8

Thanks everyone, I thought that was what i did but I wanted to make sure before I got to far in. It is fun to figure out something new and be right thanks :slight_smile:

Tea and cookie hand would be more informative, I keep having to ask who’s left mine or the knitting’s:teehee:

I see, I think you were talking about left and right side of the piece as if you were wearing it, not when you’re knitting it. Yep, very confusing…
