A new knitter wrote and asked about slip stitch on the knitting machine. Being in machine knitting mode, I explained how we can set our machines to skip a needle and place a strand of yarn across the purl side of the work.

I quickly praised using slip stitch for easily adding texture to her knitting.

Anatomy of Pattern Stitches

 


The knitter wrote back and kindly pointed out that I hadn't read her email completely. She was asking about a hand knitting instruction, s1k1psso. (Translated slip one, knit one, pass the slip stitch over).

This instruction is used in hand knitting to decrease stitches. It is also used along with a yarn over to create an eyelet or lace stitches.

Her hand knitting pattern was instructing her to decrease a stitch.

 

This is how the decrease would look on the knitting machine.




Using hand knitting patterns for your machine knitting is easier than you may think! All it takes is little planning, familiarity with the capabilities of your machine and just a little bit of math.
