How to Knit - Double Decrease - (SL2tog, K1, P2SSO)

Hello knitting friends! This video will show you how to make a double decrease. There are many types of double decreases, just like there are many types of single decreases (K2tog, SSK, P2tog etc). This double decrease results in a raised ridge in the centre of the decrease. It is worked by slipping two stitches together knitwise, knitting the next stitch and passing the two slipped stitches over.

Happy knitting!

Wonderful to see a new video from you! This was very helpful in the pattern that I'm working on right now. Thank you so much! And if you ever did a video knit-a-long, I'd definitely sign up!

Glad to hear that the video was useful!

Can you (or someone else) explain more about the video knit-a-long??

Is there a decrease for the middle that doesn't leave that rib? Cause I need to make a cupping shape like that but maintain the stockinette look.

thankyou so much! This has helped me with a pattern i am working on at the moment. Very clear and helpful....:)

Very nice and detailed. Try slowing down a bit when your knitting the other stitches. Even though the main part was a slower process, going to fast will increase the chances of someone getting confused or frustrated. That's just how the mind works. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video! I am making a hat that uses this double decrease and I was having trouble with it, but now it will be no problem. The video was very easy to see and the volume was good. Very nice and helpful.
