What does passo mean on knitting pattern?
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.
What does slip 1 mean in knitting?
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.

Knit in the round smooth join?
There are a number of ways to avoid a stair-step in your join when you knit in the round. Probably the simplest is to slip the first stitch after joining, and thereafter work every stitch normally. You can find a detailed explanation of the options available with diagrams at: http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2007/01/circular-knitting-3-in-1-techjoin_26.html
How do you stop the edges of your knitting from rolling in?
You can either add a few rows of garter stitch (which is knit every row) or you can do a few rows of ribbing (which is knit 1, purl 1). One of my favorite boarders to put on sweaters or scarves is the seed stitch (knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the row and turn your work, then you purl the knit stitches and knit the purls and you just keep repeating that every time you turn your work)
Why do you keep adding an extra stitch when knitting?
you are probably not picking the stitch up in the right spot so you are getting lets say 1/2 the stitch and then again getting 1/2 again .. but you you only do it sometimes.. when you learn to knit stay to the points of your needles at first to make it clearer to see the stitch .. chances are you are doing this at the first stitch when you turn
