When knit pattern says work garter stitch slipping the first st. of every row how is it done?
Every row will go as follows: 1. Insert the right needle into the first stitch as if you were going to knit it. Pull the left needle out of the stitch WITHOUT knitting it. That's slipping a stitch knit-wise. 2. Knit all remaining stitches to the end. 3. Turn and repeat. Slipping the first stitch gives the fabric an attractive selvage (edge). Garter stitch also gives an attractive selvage. I'm guessing that they're asking for the slipped stitch edging because it is easier to pick up if you want to add more stitches along the side later on. If you are doing a scarf, there is no need to worry about it. Plain garter stitch will look tidy and attractive without the slipped stitch at the beginning of the row.

Repeat this process whenever you want to switch colors throughout your blanket.
