The Slip Slip Purl (SSP) is a decrease technique typically performed on the purl side of stockinette stitch. It is the wrong-side equivalent of the SSK (slip, slip, knit) and creates a smooth, left-leaning decrease when viewed from the front of the work. This method involves twisting the stitches individually before purling them together to ensure the resulting loop lies flat. It is frequently used in lace knitting and garment shaping to maintain symmetry.
