Slip, Knit, Pass Decrease

In this video, I demonstrate how to work a Slip, Knit, Pass. This decrease is used in place of an SSK. Instead of slipping both stitches knitwise, only the first stitch is slipped knitwise and the second stitch is simply knit. You then pass the slipped stitch over the knit stitch. This creates a nicer looking decrease in my opinion that lies flatter on top of the second stitch. Try it and see what you think!

As with a normal SSK, this is a decrease that is worked over 2 stitches and decreases your stitch count to 1. This decrease is worked from the RIGHT side of your work and creates a left-leaning slant in your knitting.

The shawl featured in this video is my Bloomscape shawl design. You can download the pattern here:
