SSK (aka slip, slip, knit)

We know lots of ways to get rid of stitches, from slipping them to dropping them!  SSK stands for Slip, Slip, Knit and is a left slanting decrease.  You can see the left-slanting decreases in the photo above.

Follow the photos below to see how its done!

Hi Ginger,

Are you making the Lovely Leaf Lace Scarf? What row is giving you trouble? We'd be happy to help but just need a little bit more info!

Thanks!
Whitney
