3 Ways to knit a neater SSK ❤️ #knittutorial #knitting #ssk #knitted #knit #knittips #knittingtips

This is one of my favorite decrease methods. Is this how you SSK? I know some folks slip one knitwise and one purlwise or do other variations. How do you do it?

🇬🇧 Ever noticed how your SSK line ends up a bit... bumpy? I’ve tested a bunch of techniques, and this small change made a huge difference: slip the second stitch purlwise instead of knitwise. It’s a tiny tweak — but look at that line! 🧶✨ Give it a try and let me know if it works for you too! 👇 Save this tip for your next project and tag a friend who needs to fix their SSKs! 🇮🇹 Hai mai notato che la tua linea di SSK (ppd in italiano) viene un po’… a scalini? Ho provato un sacco di tecniche, e questa piccola modifica ha fatto davvero la differenza: ➤ passa la seconda maglia al rovescio invece che al diritto. È un dettaglio minuscolo — ma guarda che linea pulita! 🧶✨ Provala e dimmi se funziona anche per te. 👇 Salva questo trucchetto per il tuo prossimo progetto e tagga un’amica che sta litigando con le sue diminuzioni! #knittingtips #knittingtutorial #knittingtipsandtricks #knittinghelp #knittinginspo #knitting

Another quick knitting tutorial!! In this one I’m talking about the difference between knit 2 together (K2TOG) and slip slip knit (SSK) - both are decrease stitches (you have one less stitch after you do them) and they cause your work to “lean” in one direction or another. I personally LOVE doing knit2together it just feels like such a satisfying stitch😆 #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knit #handmade #yarn #knitstagram #knittinglove #knitter #yarnlove #knitwear #knittersgonnaknit #instaknit#knittinginspiration #handknit #knitknitknit #knittersoftheworld #nevernotknitting #slowfashion #knittingtutorial

By popular request, here are the corresponding decreases I most use. SSK and K2tog

I can't remember who sent me this technique, but it's now my favorite way to slip, slip, knit 2 together for a left leaning decrease. Step 1: switch stitches as if to knit a 1/1 left cable. 2. Knit 2 together. Step 2: on the next round, knit through the back loop. This is a sweater sleeve so you don't get the full effect of how lovely the diagonal line this technique makes. But trust me, you want to try this. #thingsbethmakes #knittingtips #knittingvideo

Treated myself to @pattyjlyons 's Bag of Tricks. @lestricoteursvolants had told me her SSK trick had changed his knitting life. Well, mine too! Thank you @pattyjlyons !!! 🧶🎊💖 Le GGT à la Patty Lyons! 😎 Une révolution, comme me l' avait promis @lestricoteursvolants! Si vous a pas encore le livre de @pattyjlyons, n'hésitez plus ! 🙌 #julieknitsinparis #TuesdayTips (yes, on a Wednesday. Yes, again. 😅😂) #TinyClassWithJulie

✨️ Watch this! ✨️ Anytime you're doing a knit one followed by a slip stitch, you can do them in one motion to make it quicker and easier. Here I'm using this on a sock heel flap and it makes it a little quicker and fewer motions. Save this reel to remember this quick trick! P.S. If you love this @badsheepyarn as much as I do, use my code KLO10 for 10% off your first order on their website 😊

Lyn asked me to show how to make an SSK, i.e. a left-leaning decrease. #Knitting 2 stitches together produces a right-leaning decrease, so if you want to have symmetrical decreases, e.g. on either side of an armhole or sleeve cap, you will need to knit 2 together on one side and make an SSK on the other 🧶

SSK - slip slip knit. 4 methods to reach that left leaning decrease. I haven't personally used Method 3 or 4 in my knitting, but I think I may actually like them better. They both lay a bit nicer than method 1 or 2. Which method is your go-to for SSK? #knittingtips #learntoknit Yarn is Blue Pixie Dust and is available to order in the shop ✌🏻🫶🏻🧶
