3 Ways to knit a neater SSK
The SSK (slip, slip, knit) is a common left-leaning decrease in knitting, but sometimes it can look uneven or loose compared to its right-leaning counterpart, the k2tog (knit two together). 
How to Knit KRL in 2 Cases (when the row below is K or P row)
A knit loop increase is a way to create one new knit stitch. You’ll lift one leg of the stitch below the one on the needle and knit that stitch. Both methods, KLL (knit left loop) and KRL (knit right loop) create a new knit stitch, but they have slightly different effects.
Knitting Chart Symbols
A chart is a symbolic representation of your knitting which is used instead of usual knitting instructions. Theoretically at least, using a chart, a knitting pattern can be presented succinctly in a clear, universal format that can be read by anyone in any language. Each symbol, or group of symbols, has a definition that tells you how to knit that stitch.
Common Knitting Abbreviations
Each knitting pattern typically provides its own abbreviations or refers to a standard. There is no single authoritative source for knitting abbreviations, so multiple standards exist.
