I realized after making the video (I had to wait until all the kids were in school before it was quiet enough) that you may have just been confused about my language rather than the stitch. All I meant was to knit front back (kfb) twice. Either way, there's now a video at the link, and I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-17680354807754126932016-03-11T21:07:58.324-08:002016-03-11T21:07:58.324-08:00I will add that to my to-do list!

If so, in general, you can find terms defined on my glossary page, here: http://www.ballstothewallsknits.com/p/glossary-of-knitting-terms.html <br /><br />And as far as this one is concerned - the ssk stands for slip, slip, knit, and is your basic left-leaning decrease. :) You can find instructions for it here: http://www.twistcollective.com/collection/component/content/article/35-features/1093-decoding-decreasesGretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-54766867252884136352015-01-28T10:57:41.237-08:002015-01-28T10:57:41.237-08:00Row 6 SSK???

Then we'll knit a few edging rows, as follows:<br /><br />Edging Row 1: p1, * (p1, k1) twice, p3, (k1, p1) twice; rep from * until you’re one stitch from end of row; end p1<br /><br />Edging Row 2 (right side): k1, * (k1, p1) twice, k3, (p1, k1) twice; rep from * until you’re one stitch from end of row; end k1<br /><br />Knit edging rows 1 & 2 2 (2; 3) times, and then switch to your size 8 needle. Next, we'll move on to our main pattern, which is Welting Fantastic from page 143 of Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. And it goes as follows:<br /><br />Rows 1, 3, & 5 (wrong side): p1, knit until you have stitch left in round, p1<br /><br />Rows 2 & 4: knit<br /><br />Row 6: k1, * k2tog, k2, knit into front and back of next two stitches, k3, ssk * until you have one stitch left in round, k1<br /><br />Rows 7, 9, & 11: purl<br /><br />Rows 8, 10, & 12: same as row 6<br /><br />Knit rows 1 - 12 two (three; four) times, and then knit rows 1 - 5 again. Switch back to your smaller gauge needles and knit your edging rows 2 (2; 3) times. Bind off loosely in pattern and seam (you should have one full stitch on either side of the work hidden in the seam). Tuck in ends and block, if desired.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-21481966681261014492015-01-12T07:23:18.135-08:002015-01-12T07:23:18.135-08:00Yep!
