Best Answer

The simplest method is to just skip a stitch from the previous row (i.e. work 5 stitches where you would normally have worked 6).

The alternative, slightly better, method, is to work the first stitch as you would normally but stop just before you pull the last loop through to complete the stitch. Instead, with 2 loops on the hook, begin working the next stitch and again, stop just before you pull the last loop through to complete the stitch. Now complete both stitches simultaneously by pulling a single strand through all loops on the hook.
