Knitting abbreviation - Sk2p

Knitting abbreviation Sk2p stands for slip 1 knitwise, knit 2 together, pass slip stitch over knit 2 together. This is a double left-leaning decrease. It's a fairly tidy decrease that is easy to make.

Insert the right-hand needle into a stitch as if to knit and slip it off the left-hand needle onto the right-hand needle. Insert the right-hand needle into the second stitch and the first stitch knitwise, wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle and pull it through both stitches, sliding them off the left-hand needle with the new stitch on the right-hand needle. Insert the left-hand needle into the slipped stitch and bring it over the knit 2 together stitch and off the right-hand needle.
