Since I find it difficult to purl through the back loops, I figured out another way to accomplish the same thing. Instead of slipping two stitches as if to knit onto the right-hand needle, I just switch the order of the two stitches as if I wanted to make a 1-1 left cross. Then I purl them together normally. This also works for an ssk, though I don’t know that it makes it easier. I reverse the order of the two stitches as if to make a left cross, then knit them together normally.
Hi Norman, I've been watching all videos about decreases, I'm beginner and may my question is a little obvious but: How should I knit in the other side... ?
Typically, you just knit across in pattern. So, the way to think of this is: Each decrease has a base: either a purl stitch or a knit stitch. this decrease has a purl stitch as a base. So, a purl stitch will appear like a knit stitch on the other side (knit and purl stitches are mirror images). As a result, you probably have to knit across in the next row.
Was täte ich nur ohne deine wunderbaren tutorials! Danke!
Thank you! I love the clarity of your instrinstructions and the slo-mo repeat. So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

awesome. yes, these twisted left-leaning decreases are essentially nothing else but a mini cable! great you were able to figure it out on your own.

hi, one pattern i find interesting says “SL2: slip 2 sts purlwise” is this what they’re referring to? is it an ssp?
no, sl2p just revers to slipping two stitches without knitting. if they wanted you to do something with these slipped stitches, it would be indicated.
@@nimbleneedlestwo ohhhh i see, thank you!
It was difficult to see where/how you re -inserted your needle in the back loop. :(
I am sorry to hear that. If there's anything that would have made it easier for you to see, do let me know
