How's and Why's of Slipping Stitches: A Knitting Video Treatise!

I often get asked about slipping stitches, and when one should be slipping a stitch knitwise or purlwise... in most of my patterns I tell you, but sometimes you might run into a pattern that doesn't and this video will help you know which technique to use!



You'll learn a great rule in this video... but don't forget, rules are made to be broken!

And to wrap up a little blog business... Congrats to Sofia (cecbellz on Ravelry)... you are the winner of the Fino Necklace!

    That was actually helpful. I was tinkering just this morning on which way to slip my stitches on a s2kp. I did decide to do purlwise, but I like the rule of thumb.

    Thanks very much!! What if I knit "Eastern" (or whatever it's called) so I knit into the backs of stitches. Then would it all be reversed for me? (Slipping purl-wise twists and slipping knit-wise doesn't?) Thanks! Deb

      I need to play with it to be sure, but yes, I do believe you just "switch" my rule and it will work for you too!

    Hi, I am knitting the Novel T shirt (I am very exited about it ) but I'm stuck on the instructions for the -set up for right shoulder- row 3, If I slip the last two stitches of my row wyif, do I leave them unworked and knit them when I start my next row? the working yarn will be right before those two slipped stitches. HELP!!

    Yes, that is exactly what you do... this is an integrated I-Cord edging! We have a KAL for Novel T in my Ravelry group if you need more help! http://www.nelkindesigns.com/ravelry

    I'm working your elongated octagon and want to clarify, row 3 when you slip pw it's the first wrap on the stitch prev wrapped on row 2 that gets slipped and the rest of the wrap drops. In row 4 you're just slipping that big wrap so it can be picked and crossed on row 5. Never done this before so I'm practicing first. Hope I'm making sense
