Maybe your like

Technically, there is only one way to make an SSK – a decrease that makes the stitches slant to the left. But there are 4 more ways to make a decrease that does the same. Let’s take a look at all of them and decide which one is easier to knit and which one has a better look.

One small note before we get started – purl all stitches in every wrong side row when making these decreases.

So here are they are, the 5 ways to make a left-slanting decrease. Which of them is the best? Of course, it depends on your needs. If you want to use a decorative decrease, choose decrease #5. If you are looking for the easiest one, it will be the decrease #3. For the neatest look, choose decrease #4.

To me, the best one is #2 – it is quite easy and has a nice neat look. Too bad I didn’t know about this decrease sooner 🙂
