Description
A knitting technique where a stitch is transferred from the left to the right needle without being worked.
Detailed explanation
This instruction involves moving a stitch to the working needle without pulling new yarn through it. It is essential for creating texture effects, such as in linen stitch or mosaic knitting, and is used in many decrease techniques. Standard practice requires slipping the stitch purlwise to keep it untwisted, unless the pattern specifically calls for slipping knitwise.
