how to do a ssk and a p2sso stich
New Stitch a Day
Hi Wendy! This video will show you how to do the SSK: http://newstitchaday.com/slip-slip-knit-decrease-ssk/. P2sso means to pass two slipped stitches over. Most likely you will have slipped two stitches already, then knit another stitch, then you'll take the two slipped stitches and place them back over the just worked stitch.
