Wrap Yarn over (yo) right needle; to slip as if to purl, insert right needle under next stitch from the top (rather than the bottom), slipping stitch back to the right needle; Knit 1 stitch (next stitch); psso is pass slipped stitch over the stitch you just knit.
SKP aka sl1, k1, psso(Slip Knit Pass) or (Slip One, Knit One, Pass the Slipped Stitch Over)
Slip one stitch (from the left needle to the right), knit the next 2 stitches together, than pass the slipped stitch over the finished K2tog stitch.
There are two ways to slip a stitch, knit-wise and purl-wise. When in doubt, generally you should slip purl-wise. Insert the needle into the stitch to be slipped either as if to knit (knit-wise) or as if to purl (purl-wise). Then slide it off the left needle without pulling a new stitch through it. That's all there is to it. Here are some applications: For a tidy selvage edge, slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise. For a decrease that is the mirror image of a K2TOG, do an SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit). Slip one stitch knit-wise. Slip another stitch knit-wise. Slipping knit-wise gives the stitches a half twist. Now slip them both together back onto the left needle, passing them with the needles held tip to tip. Knit them together through the back loops.
Insert the knitting needle into the loop as if to knit (as opposed to the direction you insert to purl), slip the loop onto the inserted needle without creating a new stitch.
The typical abbreviation is psso and it stands for "Pass the slip stitch over".This stitch is used to decrease and is usually part of the stitch abbreviation SKP, which stands for "slide 1, knit 1, psso"To do this decrease, you want to take your right needle and insert it into the stitch on your left needle and move the stitch to your right needle. So you have just slipped the stitch from one needle to the other, without knitting or purling it.Now you want to knit the next stitch.Then take the slipped stitch and pull it over the knit stitch. This is passing the slipped stitch over the knit stitch, which means that you have 1 less stitch than you did before.
SKPO stands for slip knit pass over. In other words, you slip one stitch, knit one stitch, then pass the slip stitch over the knitted stitch, thus decreasing one stitch in your row of knitting.
Pass slipped stitch over. E.g. SK2P = Slip one stitch, K2tog, pass slipped stitch over the stitch just worked. -- thus decreasing by 2 stitches.
slip one purl wise .. in another words put your needle in the stitch as if your are going to purl and then just slip it off without actually purling
As far as I'm aware, there is no "purl" in crochet, but there is in knitting.Knitting has basically two stitches, a "knit" and a "purl."In a knit stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, by passing through from below. In a purl stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, from above. This creates an effect, where on one side, a knit stitch appears to be knit, and on the other side, the same stitch appears to be purled. This explains why directions for knitting often speak of the "right (or front) side" or the "wrong (or back) side" of a project.Crochet has stitches which are a slip stitch, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a half crochet, a double crochet, a triple crochet, a double treble crochet, and even a triple treble crochet. I have not seen any patterns which call for a larger than triple treble crochet stitch.
slip 1 - insert needle into stitch as normal then just pull it off the left needle onto the right without knitting or purling it
slip two stitches to the right hand needle, insert the left needle into the back loops of these stitches and then knit. I find this too fidley to do so i use S1 K1 PSSO as it gives the same results: Slip one stitch to the right hand needle, knit the next stitch off of the left hand needle onto the right, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. It gives exactly the same results but isn't as difficult. James
When you reach the slip knot, knit it just like all of the other stitches, throwing it off at the end just like the other stitches. When you have knit the slip knot, all of the stitches should be on the right needle, and the left needle should be completely free*.*There may be some exceptions to this rule, as in circular knitting, but this will not be addressed until you are an advanced knitter, and you don't have to worry about that right now.
