Thanks. I just happened on this today when looking to find out how to decrease on the bottom of a tote bag. I am to k2tog on right side of the four markers and ssk on the left. I THOUGHT I was to slip as if to purl, but I wasn’t sure. Now I know.

What about the SSK “improved”? I saw this on Knittinghelp.com and I do think it looks a bit better than regular SSK, but I’m not sure how it compares with SKP or twisted SKP?

Thanks for the tutorial! I can always count on learning something different when I read your blog…

I simple adore your blog. I will have to move it from my favourite blogs list and put it on “if you really wanna larn knitting”.
BTW, SSK is k2tog here in Croatia – I have had many missunderstandings whan I started using knitting instructions in english!
But, now everything is all right!
