What does slip mean in knitting




















Hi, this is Amanda from Berroco, and I'll be demonstrating the difference between slipping a stitch purlwise and slipping it knitwise. In most cases, you're going to be slipping it purlwise, unless your knitting instructions tell you otherwise.

To slip a stitch purlwise, you insert your needle into the next stitch as if to purl, and just slide it from your left needle to your right needle. To slip a stitch knitwise, insert your needle as if to knit, and then slip that from your left needle to your right needle.

I try to always bring a little extra information to the table so that even intermediate knitters might learn something new. Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoy the tutorials. It means more than you know! I hope I am understanding your question correctly.

If you have a pattern where you need to slip the third stitch, then there will be instructions before that for the stitches that come first. So, you either knit or purl the first two stitches according to the instructions, and then when you reach the stitch that you are supposed to slip, you simply slip it Was that what you were asking? I might need to see the instructions you are struggling with to better understand what is causing you troubles.

Hi Henni! So glad I stumbled onto your blog. So excited to start it. Thanks so much!!! Glad I could help. Hi there! Thanks in advance! Skip to content. Join my email list. You're on the list. There was an error and we couldn't process your subscription. The abbreviations and terminology of carrying yarn to form a float varies from publication to publication and can become a bit confusing. The first statement means that no matter if we are working the right side or a wrong side of the work, we carry the yarn on the wrong side of the project.

In other words, if we are working a RS row, then we carry the yarn behind the slipped stitch. If we are on the WS row, we carry the yarn in front of the slipped stitch. Bring the yarn over the needle from front to back, placing it next to the slipped stitch FIG. In some patterns, the floats from previous rows are picked up and incorporated into a stitch on the next row. This stitch is called a tuck stitch. A tuck stitch can be done knitwise or purlwise.

It makes no difference whether the floats are carried in front or in back of the work. It can make a slight difference in the appearance of the fabric when the float is formed by carrying the yarn over the needle. With the left needle, catch the floats on the back or front of the next elongated stitch, so the floats are on top of the needle in front of the next stitch.

In this project, slip stitch is combined with more than one color yarn for a stranded look without the fuss. Can you guess which one of the 7 slip stitches shown here is used in this cowl?
