sssk
Knittingslip 3, knit together through back loops
Description
A double decrease knitting technique that reduces three stitches to one with a left-leaning slant.
Detailed explanation
The sssk abbreviation stands for ‘slip, slip, slip, knit’ and creates a sharp double decrease that leans to the left. By slipping the stitches knitwise individually, you reorient them so they lie flat when worked together through the back loops. This stitch is often the mirror image of a k3tog and is frequently used in lace patterns or raglan shaping.
