My last relative who knew how to knit has been gone for decades now, so these videos are a godsend.
Wonderful. That is why I make them.
I always go to her channel first. I can’t imagine how ppl learned all these techniques before RUclips. She is a great teacher.
⭐️BEGINNER KNITTERS⭐️ Excellent teacher, she gives many fully clear explanation to the what the yarn is doing, why it’s doing it and other ways to make the SAME stitch. Thank you Mrs Bryan for taking the time to clarify this stitch and easing some of the frustrations and anxiety out of learning to knit!!!
Thank you Amy. Happy Holidays.
Wonderful explanation as to WHY the SSK gets big and bulky. Great instruction to keep it small. Thank you for another informative video!
You're so welcome, Teresa! And thank you for the lovely feedback! 😊
As I was watching this video I noticed that your needle tips are long and pointy and wondered what they were and was about to ask, but you told us at the end! It pays to watch the whole video to get all of your excellent tips. Thank you for your excellent videos!
I have found Suzanne's videos and explanations to be the very best online. I LOVE her demonstrations (very clear and wonderful visuals) and her explanations regarding WHY she is suggesting that the knitter do it a certain way. It makes remembering her advice sink in. Although I will go and look at other videos, I always come back to Suzanne's. What a great teacher!! Thank YOU!
Thank you and happy knitting.
Suzanne is the best! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in an accessible way! Beautifully filmed and narrated.
New Knitter ( 4 months), and your videos have helped me tremendously! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your tips and techniques. I've made a sock, gloves, multiple hats(colorwork) and now I'm doing a shawl with SSK, K2t, M1L, M1R, ptbl, garter tab cast on and your videos have taught me to do most all those stitches. It took me 36 years to find a hobby! Thanks for being a great teacher!
Oh thank you so much! When I find someone like you who picks knitting up so quickly, I say - You have always been a knitter, you just didn't know it.
Your video’s are so full of information and I always feel like I’m asking you a question and then magically you answer it in your video. I laughed when you told us about the kind of needles you use because I had that very same question and then you answered it right at the end. Perfect! Thank you so much!❤
Happy to help!
Another great video. Very clear and concise. I love that you go slow and we can see the thread and needle action. I also appreciate that you tell knitters why something is occurrng and then proceed to discuss the variety of ways to fix the problem. Thank you.
Thank you! Be sure to hit the "share" button on my video and share it for others to see. Happy knitting.
I love your videos. Every time I look for detailed information on a new stitch or technique, I always end up back at your videos because you instruct so clearly and completely! Keep them coming, I’ll keep watching!
Thank you Lauren Riddolls! Happy knitting.

You are so welcome!
A good teacher is a teacher for life. And you are one of those! Thanks for sharing again.
Happy knitting!
I just had a new "ah-ha" moment watching this video. I have one at almost every of your tutorials - this is crazy how knowleageable you are! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome.
I’m trying to knit a sock for the first time, I couldn’t work out how to do a SSK , I’d never heard of it,,I used knit two together,,only needed the first few minutes of your wonderful video and now I know how to do it and I also understand the “physiology “ behind it,,thanks so much . I’ve been so very frustrated and your video is a gift from Mother Nature…clear concise, easy to see and follow,, no annoying music, thanks thanks so very much. I’ve started this sock 9 times now and had finally gotten to the heel and ………help!!!! then along came your video,,,I know I’m rambling but I’ve struggled so much. I’m locked down due to Covid and live alone…you are a breath of fresh air… ♥️🇦🇺🌈
I really appreciate your very kind comment, Soffity; I know that you'll be making beautiful socks to wear and gift!
Thank you thank you so much...after 30 years of knitting I would love to move up to the next level..
That's so wonderful, Migdalia, and you're very welcome! I have lots of videos to help you, so please subscribe, and also check out my Facebook page (same name), it's filled with supportive knitters at every level. ❤️
I had a pattern that required me to do this stitch-I was like 😳. I keyed a “how to do slip, slip knit” and your video was at the top of the list-THANK YOUUUU! 😀 I am now knitting 🧶 away on my shawl.
That is wonderful! Happy knitting Yvonne Francis.

Me too🧶
Brilliant close ups, thank you.
You are very welcome Libellula Washington! Happy knitting.
Thanks a million for this fantastic tip. YOU ARE TRULY BLEST AND AN EXCEPTIONAL KNITTER. Y're absolutely right. The stitches are NEVER placed on the tip of the needles in other videos. At last I have found the BEST Knitting Professor in the world. 🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Thank you! Happy Knitting.
I love listening to you teach!! love love love that techno stuff....ie, if the theory is explained, won't have to memorize.
Exactly. Happy New Year!
I needed to be reminded of the method to do SSK for a new project for my great grandaughters. This was very informative & reminded me of the method of doing this stitch. Thank you .
Thank you so much for all your videos!! I love that you explain not only the steps but all the reasons why and how to improve. I go back to your videos all the time :) much appreciated
You are so welcome, Angela! I appreciate you too! ❤️
Thank you so much. I was getting frustrated with the difference of “knit-slip, purl-slip” SSK vs “knit-slip, knit-slip” SSK between patterns, and trying to figure out if there was an importance to the variation. You perfectly addressed that and more. Thank you again.
I'm so glad it helped, Hana1Lulu! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you for explaining my confusion when the pattern gives an SSK method that I didn't understand. As always, Suzanne, thank you
You are so welcome, Steve! I really appreciate your kind words!
I am just at the stage where I can knit well but it wasn't perfect like I've seen some ladies knitting. And then I found your video. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much :)
Happy Knitting.
Suzanne this was my first time watching your (SSk) video. I am really impressed by you demonstrating the previous methods
to obtain this stitch. Thank you I will visit your site regularly.
Thank you! Happy Knitting.
Very good explanation. I now see how I can vastly improve my decreases. Thank you so much.
Happy Knitting!
Thank you, as always, for your wonderful knowledge and patience Suzanne 🙏🏼🥰
You are very welcome, Mae! ❤️
You made everything very easy to understand, by talking clearly and slowly. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome Andrew Saggs. Thank you and Happy knitting.

Kitchener method of knitting
Thank you Suzanne for this sharing of your knowledge. I feel you give me tools to improve my kneeting and that is so great. In France, the S1 k1 psso is called "surjet" and we don't ear about ssk. I started knitting ssk when I start using English patterns. Differences beetween french and american or north Europe knitting are very interesting.
Yes, very interesting. Thank you! Happy Knitting!
Amazing! I have always hated ssk's because they stuck out so much. I love the one where the second stitch is slipped purlwise (or minus the slip in this case) I love how this looks! Thank you.
Fantastic lesson, love that you enlarge so we can actually see what you are doing. I think I can do this! I’m a Knitting Rookie. Thank you for your help.
You are very welcome. Thank you! Happy knitting.
Thank you, I was struggling with this stitch, you made it so much clearer to me. I remembered the old style of sl1 k1 psso… you made this so clear for me 👍😃
This is wonderful to hear, Lynn, I'm so happy my video helped! ❤️
This was super helpful. I am knitting a bag in the round, and the standard SSK really stands out--now I know why!
Happy Knitting.
Love your detail! I'm an advanced beginner & just at the place where some of your detailed explanations are becoming helpful.
You are REALLY good! Thank you!
That is wonderful! Happy knitting Dan Bev.

THANK YOU. I have been struggling with this and watched other videos but yours just clicked
🧶
Awesome. A terrific idea. Thank you for helping us
You are so welcome, Shirley!
Great video and thank you for sharing your expertise. I'm a beginner and really enjoy the knowledge I gain from watching your techniques.
Hugs and happy knitting!
these videos are all so excellent!! i’m so glad i’ve found your videos, they are SUPER helpful for me as a beginner knitter!! 💗
Thank you , Brooke, I love helping new knitters!
I am left handed but I learned right handed. My grandmother taught me. Thank you for your demo. It was very helpful.
So glad it was helpful, Merrilee!
This is a fantastic video. You perfectly explained my SSK problems! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Now THIS is just what I needed! The only video I’ve seen where you show the difference that using the very tip of the needles makes a dramatic difference!!! You’re wonderful and I needed this so much.
When I was a child I taught myself to knit over 5 decades ago. Then I understand the traveling of the stitch by closely looking at the illustrations.
Via RUclips and true artisans as yourself, give me the moving visuals that teach me again. I’m very grateful for this. It’s made me regain my interest in knitting again.
Thank You 🙏🏽 very much🧶🌞🤗🌼
Wonderful Carla Johnson! Happy Knitting.
thank you for explaining why my knitting looks wonky. Now I know how to make it look better. I'm learning that following the pattern directions is not always the best way.
You are very welcome, Alexis!
So beautiful tutorial👌
I just learned it right now from your video 🙏🙏🤩
Good explanations of stitch behavior. I appreciate the information about knitting on the tips vs full needle barrel.
You are very welcome Patricia Sawayer. Thank you and Happy knitting.

Thank you for the crystal-clear video on light yarn (strange how rare but important that is) with a detailed, technical explanation. This is the first video of yours I stumbled on, but I'm subscribing immediately.
Thank you Carol Melancon! Happy knitting.
This is just what I needed!!! Thank you!!! Easy to understand.
That's great. Thank you. Happy knitting.
I actually DO this even long before I saw it in youtube or anywhere else in the internet. I don't really hate doing SSK but the way the SSK decreases kinda produces a zigzag knit line. Doing it at the tips of the needles really makes a huge difference.
Your video was very helpful. I always did slip knit pass slip over. Anxious to try ask. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
another great video and great visuals on the differences of ssk, skp.
Thank you so much, Susan, I appreciate your kind feedback! ❤️
Thank you for this for the explanation…clear and concise 😊
Very detailed and helpful for SSK.
Thank you.
Great teacher not only show how to but explain the reasons and options much thanks.
Thank you W Cashmere! Happy knitting.
Very informative video! I'm a new knitter so it was extremely helpful! Thanks very much!
I do have a ? at the end of my post.
Thank you so much I am going back to what I had been doing for 64 years and then had a pattern tell me to SSK so I googled it and I have been using it on my 2.5 for sock knitting and I do use the tips so clever me for that one. But then when I get to the end of that toe I am told to knit 2 together which just doesn’t match the SSK on the right hand side how can I make it look similar. Thank you 🙏
For sock toes, usually the stitches are divided in half, half for the top of the foot and half for the bottom. You work across the top as - k1, ssk, knit until 3 sts remain, k2tog k1. Then you repeat that on the bottom. Does this answer your question?
Thank you - never thought about the twists before - good tip
Happy to help!
I learn so much from you. Your pace is great for understanding and keeping up.
Great. Thank you for the feedback. Happy knitting.
صبوني
Great video and very clear explanation. I had a VERY LONG time professional knitter teach me to just slip my needle behind the stitches as if to purl, and then knit the two together from behind.
As my friend Jacki says, "You don't know what you don't know", even when you have been knitting forever. So glad you found this! Hugs and Happy Knitting!
The problem with decreasing in that manner is that the resulting knit stitch on top is twisted. Try slipping 1 st as if to purl, then put it back on the left needle. Now proceed as you describe. Doesn't that look better?
Very nice simple explanation with easy to see magnification. Thank you.
You are very welcome Jeanne Bauerschlag! Happy knitting.
Omg!!....I'm decreasing a hat...this is just what I'm dealing With! Thank you,thank You!....awesome Video!
Perfect timing. Happy knitting.
thank you for the excellent demonstration and explaining ssk
You are welcome, Judy!
Thank you. My ssk's are terrible. This helps a lot!
You're very welcome, Mary! Thanks for watching! 😊
That was a great explanation! It reminded me of somebody explaining a math problem to you and the aha moment! Thanks again, I will always remember ssk!
Fantastic! Happy knitting.
I do the one at 4:55 where the 2nd st is twisted - it makes it smaller - less 'fluffy'. I think I learned that here when I watched a long time ago. Thank you Suzanne!
Wonderful Emma! Happy Knitting.
I love lace tips for the reason that I can get into a stitch easier. Otherwise it’s like ‘knitting with dowels’. Will have to try your brand, so far I’ve been addicted to Addi brand.
excellent simple instructions for SSK stitch Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I am a beginner knitter and this was extremely helpful
Great! Thank you! Happy knitting.
11:32 A.M USA. -- Thank you, I just learned how to do the SSK probably. ❤
Genius knitter .❤ Your demo's.
Thanks for watching.
I look forward to your videos. I especially appreciate your explanations on why problems happen and how to correct them!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
Very interesting video Suzanne. Yes, I remember when I was really young, these stitches used to be, S1, K1, PSSO, and now, as you say it has been changed to SSK. I can't be bothered with SSK, I just K2tog tbl, its quicker and looks almost the same. I use Hiya Hiya sharps too, and just love them! What a difference they make ( especially with the K2tog tbl, lol).
Thanks for sharing! Just for the heck of it, make a swatch and compare the SSK with the k2tog tbl and see what you think. Pull the fabric from side to side and see if you notice a difference.
Suzanne, thanks for saving my idiot knitting mind, love the video, thanks a lot. :)
You are very welcome. Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
Excellent stuff! Thx!! And I fancy your new avatar! What a smile!!
Thanks Duke, happy knitting.
A-ha!! finally I understand why I have spent so many years being deeply confused by the 'ssk' instruction - I was taught to s1k1psso.
That is a common occurrence, you are not alone. Happy knitting.
Perfect. Well done.
Thank you very much, Nancy! 😊
Thanks for very clear explanation and video.....helps me to remember what I am doing and why I am doing it that way!
Excellent! 🧶
Great information. This really helps me understand my knitting and how different techniques work
Wonderful K Racklin! Happy Knitting.
Super tip about the tidy SSK.
Glad you liked it
Hi! To my favorite knitting instructor!
Thanks Suzanne 😊. I am so appreciative to you for your videos. I have learned a lot from you ♥️
Thank you Pat Griffin! Happy knitting. Happy New Year!
Love the closeups~TKS! I’d like to see same with finished small samples of k2tog followed by ssk, showing difference in working on needle tips-vs-working on barrel of needles.
Hi Suzanne, I just discovered your videos and have been watching, enjoying and learning from them. I found and easier way of doing ssk’s. I was knitting a sweater by a designer (can’t remember her name) and she knits ssk’s without slipping them. She puts her needle on the first stitch as if to knit then through the back loop of the second stitch then knits them together. I found this to be easier to knit ssk’s.
Very cool. Thank you for sharing. Happy knitting.
I learned to do this from Patty Lyons.
Wow I learned so much thank you ur videos help 💙
I'm so glad! Happy Holidays.
Love your good "ole" common sense soothing style!!! Bless you...I am having trouble mastering turning the heel amd short rows. Any advice you could give me is greatly appreciated...Winifred
Thank you. I have 23 videos on short rows - here is a link to the playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLLKJ9GuhEEwmQloXkBWW5sdoA3xsci9ta
Very clear and helpful thanx ... I have a full set of hiya interchangeable but I find the cord kinks a lot especially at the very end of the needles where they join the tips ... I tried soaking in hot water, I even ironed them, only getting a little unkinked. I bought the softer sock cables but just not crazy about the cables but love the tips. Regarding this I always have a hard time getting toe increases and decreases to look symmetrical so I will try to be mindful of what you have pointed out.
Excellent.
Thank you! This very video was very helpful.
So much wisdom, love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
As always, love the instruction. I can absolutely see how this will work. Thank you.
Excellent! Happy knitting.
Thank you for your excellent teaching and excellent filming! Very easy to see and understand!
I'm a new knitter and knit continental so that you do to is helpful. Do you have a beginner project and tutorial?...
Glad it was helpful! Not yet!
I look forward to see it too. Even though I have been knitting since I was 5 ( must have learnt at my Montessori School in Ymuiden North Holland Nederland. Now in Eltham Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 for 62 years. I also learnt to crochet at a very young age and beautiful embroidery swatches, I lost it by using it as a pot plant cloth not realising that the terracotta saucer would destroy that gorgeous sampler. A lesson learnt but a very sad one. Again thank you for your help I will go through all your podcasts so I can send beginners to your RUclips tutorials. Short but Sweet!
Ahhh! Thought SSK looked awful, I remember k1,s1,psso, much better thank you and the tips... good tip!
Glad I could help!
New to knitting! I am just learning! Great tip! Glad I found your channel!
Wonderful Donna Arsenault! Happy Knitting. Happy New Year!
@@SuzanneBryan Happy New Year!
Thank you for your great explanations, it's always a lot easier afterwards!
Thank you Barbara Kuhlmann! Happy knitting.
Great logic-thank you!
You're welcome!
Very interesting! Will have to keep this in mind when doing ssk's. If someone is looking for sharp pointed tips Hiya Hiya's sure fit the bill. I like both pointy and blunt. It just depends on the project. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Happy knitting.
Thank you ,I will try your way xx
Wonderful!
Thank you! Very instructive!
You are welcome, Dee! 😊
Love your videos - especially since I hold my yarn in the Continental method - wondering the type of needle as I am unfamiliar with your recommendation?
I think that in this video I am using a Hiya Hiya Sharp. I love the sharp points. Thank you and happy knitting.
So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Suzanne, I love your videos. I’m curious: just read an instruction for SSK that directs you to “slip as if to purl”. Could you please explain why that would be called for? Thanks so much.
I am new to knitting crocheter background and your videos are so detailed and giving u explanation of logic behind things so I am really amazed :) thnx for taking time to teach many of us. is it real that slip by default purlwise unless mentioned in decrease here that are knitwise.
Yes, the default is purlwise unless making a decease, or if the designer explicitly requires it.
I hate SSKs, so excited to hear that SKPs produce the same result, they're much easier for me to do
Wonderful, Dawn, I'm so happy to hear this! ❤️
