K2TOG DECREASE

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a right leaning decrease, used to shape flat pieces of knitting. It is the same as the regular knit stitch, only two sitches are being knitted instead of one, decreasing the number of stitches by one stitch for every k2tog you do.

Insert your right needle into TWO stitches, and wrap the yarn as with a regular knit stitch.

Gently pull the right needle out towards you, catching the yarn you just wrapped, and pulling it through the TWO stitches on the left needle.

Slide the TWO stitches off the needle completely and pull your yarn snug. This completes the k2tog stitch!
