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.
What is an ssk?
It's a left-leaning decrease. Here are the steps: 1. slip a stitch knit-wise from the left needle to the right 2. slip a second stitch knit-wise from the left needle to the right 3. slip both of the stitches you just slipped back to the left needle and knit them together through the back loops. Each stitch you slip knit-wise is twisted. When you knit through the back loop you twist them back. Why go through all these gyrations instead of just knitting them together? A K2TOG creates a right-leaning decrease. A SSK creates a left-leaning decrease. When you do shaping, say of a sweater's shoulders, using paired decreases makes each edge of the shoulder a mirror image of the other. It gives garments a more finished, more tailored look.
