PSSO

[Cynamar]

What does it mean to pass a slipped stitch over? Over what? Didn't I pass it over when I slipped it?

[of troy]

the complete directions (and doesn't your pattern have a KEY to abreviations?--did you read the key? (in knitting zines, its often on a seperate page.. (be they on line or printed zines))

the complete directions are S1, K1, PSSO
so you slip 1 stitch, Knit 1 stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over (the knit stitch)

is a decrease --specifically a left leaning decrease (vs a K2tog --right leaning decrease)

---------------------------------------------

NOTE 1: a SSK (slip 1, slip 1, then knit these 2 stitches together (through the back loop) is also a right leaning decrease

NOTE 2: if you are a combo knitter, you need another style of decrease for a right leaning decrease--google combo knitting for reams of info.

I am at work without the pattern and haven't read the whole pattern. It's a design on the leg of a sock so I don't know if it's a decrease. I will read it when I get home and post more specifically.

Well if there's a psso in the directions, chances are there's a knit 1 to pass the sl stitch over.
