Knitting abbreviation - SSSK

Knitting abbreviation SSSK stands for slip 3 stitches, knit these 3 stitches together. This is a double left-leaning decrease. This stitch lies flat and is a counterpart to knit 3 together.

Slip 3 stitches individually knitwise onto the right-hand needle. Insert the left-hand needle into all three stitches from left to right through the front loops so that the right-hand needle is at the back with the tip pointing left and away from you. Wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle and pull through all 3 stitches, sliding them off the needle, leaving the new stitch on the right-hand needle.
