Slip Stitch is a great way
to add texture and interest to your knitting.
When knitting slip, certain needles do not knit and the working yarn travels UNDER the needles.

When knitting slip, certain needles do not knit and the working yarn travels UNDER needles out of work. Once you understand how slip stitch is created on your machine, the sky's the limit!

• Slip stitch is most often used as a "wrong-side facing" technique. Floats are left on the purl side of the knitting and the texture is used as the "right" side
• Slip stitch not only leaves floats on the purl side, it distorts the knitting adding even more texture
• Combining rows of alternate colors with slip created both texture and color interest (multi-color-slip)
