Knitting abbreviation - S2KP2

Knitting abbreviation S2KP2 stands for slip 2 stitches as if to knit 2 together, knit 1, pass 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch. This is a centred double decrease. It is fairly tidy and easy to make.

Insert the right-hand needle into two stitches as if to knit, slip them onto the right-hand needle (they will be twisted, but do not straighten them because they will lay flat when off the needle), knit one stitch, insert the left-hand needle into both slipped stitches and bring them over the knit stitch and off the right-hand needle.
