Hi guys, this is Clara Hudson of Wallet Play Designs and on today's video I'm going to be showing you guys how to do a slip-slip knit or an SSK improved. And that's this stitch right here. You can see below my needles I've taken two stitches and I've decreased them to one and this is a left leaning decrease. If you take a look at my swatcher you can see over on the right side I have a knit two-decrease that leads to the right. So the SSK or the slip-slip knit just mirrors the knit two together. And the reason I call this an SSK improved is because if you take a look at the stitches and this decrease they just lay a little nicer. You can barely see the stitch that sits below the stitch that pops out to the front. So I'll just show you how to make this stitch. It's a lot like a slip-slip knit and that we're going to take those two stitches and we're going to decrease them to one. So here's where I'm going to place that SSK and I've just yarned over so I don't lose my stitch count of two stitches. And first I'm going to slip the first stitch as if to knit. So in that front loop and I'm just going to slip it onto my right hand needle. And then instead of slipping the second stitch as you do in a traditional slip-slip knit I'm simply going to place the stitch I just slipped back onto my left hand needle purl wise so I don't recituate the stitch so you can see now it is oriented in a different way on my left hand needle. It's not sitting on the needle as it should as if to knit it. We've slipped it and placed it back. So you can see it's oriented a different way. And now to knit two together we're simply going to insert our right hand needle through the back loops. So I'll rotate this so you can see it. We're going through the back loops of those two stitches. We're not going through the front. We're going through the back. Okay. And simply knit those two stitches together. And then I'll finish the rest of this row so I can show you what this stitch looks like. Okay, so if you take a look here you can see our slip slip knit improved. Just creates that same left lean as a regular slip slip knit. But as you can see this stitch below that we knit it into looks a little wonky. So I'm going to go ahead and show you once you do the return row or the wrong side row what that stitch looks like. So that's the stitch, the back of it. And I'm just going to stop here and show you what that stitch looks like from the front. So if you take a look it just lays a lot nicer. It looks a little bit more like the knit two together because on a knit two together you can see that stitch that you knitted through is laying on top of the second stitch that you decreased. And the SSK improved just mirrors that pretty much looks the same. So this is a two stitch or one stitch decrease that I prefer using over this traditional slip slip knit. So that is how you do a slip slip knit improved or an SSK improved. I hope this helps you guys. Thanks for watching.
