Knittingslip 3, purl together through back loops
Description
A double decrease worked on the purl side that reduces three stitches to one.
Detailed explanation
This technique is commonly found in lace knitting charts when shaping is required on the wrong side of the work. It reduces the stitch count by two stitches at once. The maneuver reorients the stitches so that they lie flat and lean correctly when viewed from the front (knit) side of the fabric.
