The Knitting Connection

This is a short video in our learn to knit series showing what the abbreviation  psso or “Pass Slip Stitch Over” means and how to do it.  It’s one of the knitting abbreviations that is often used in knitting patterns and is another way to decrease a stitch.

The video indicates that you slip 1, knit 1, and then pass the first stitch over the second. When you “knit 1″ – you can also “purl 1″ and the purl one is actually the one shown in the video. It really depends on what your kitting pattern is asking you to do; a purl stitch or a knit stitch.
