Both SSK and K2tog decrease stitches. But the difference between using them in knitting lies in their execution and the resulting visual effect on your knitted piece, which is crucial for shaping and aesthetics.

Difference between using SSK and K2tog in knitting

SSK: Slip one stitch knitwise from the left needle to the right needle, slip the next stitch knitwise as well, insert the left needle into the front of these two stitches and knit them together.

K2tog: Insert the right needle through two stitches on the left needle as if to knit, knit them together as one.

The stitches lean to the left, making it ideal for mirror-image shaping on the left side of a project. Often used in lace patterns, garment shaping, or symmetrical designs.

 K2tog: Creates a right-leaning decrease. 

The stitches lean to the right, making it ideal for shaping on the right side of a project.

SSK: Produces a cleaner and flatter decrease on the left side of your knitting. Some knitters prefer it for its neat finish, especially in textured or lace patterns. 

K2tog: Creates a more compact decrease, which is slightly less flat compared to SSK but works well when you need strong, visible structure.

SSK: Often paired with K2tog for symmetrical shaping. 

In a sweater neckline: SSK is used on one side and K2tog on the opposite for balanced decreases. 

In lace patterns: Creates directional flow in the design.

K2tog: Common in projects requiring fast or easy decreases, such as: 

Basic decreases in stockinette or garter stitch. 



Both techniques are foundational in knitting, and understanding their differences helps you achieve the desired look and structure in your projects.

Confused about SSK and K2tog in knitting? Learn the key differences between these decrease techniques, how they affect your fabric, and when to use each for the best results!

SSK vs. K2tog in Knitting: Key Differences and When to Use Each

Normally, you bind off the last two stitches the regular way, and then you break the working yarn and pull out the last loop all the way. This will create a knot. While it is entirely secure, you often create an ear because the edge stitches are a bit too loose. That’s because there is nothing to anchor them on the left side.

I will show you How to bind off/ cast off the last stitch in knitting and make it look neater. 

Step 1: Bind off all stitches but last stitch remaining on left needle.  



Step 2: Slip the last stitch to the right needle (without knitting).

Step 3: Find the left loop of the stitch one row below and lift it on your left needle

Step 4: Slip the first stitch on right needle back to the left needle. 

Step 5: Knit these two stitches together (K2tog).

Step 6: Pass the second stitch over the first stitch (the way you normally would) 

Step 8: Thread tail through remaining stitch on needle and pull it tight to finish.
