Question
I am knitting a flower and I do not how to do these two stitches.

"Row2:  K2, *sl 2 tog kw, K1, p2sso, K1, P1, K1, rep from * to last 5 sts, end sl2 tog kw, K1, p2sso, K2"

I don't know how to do s1 2 tog kw and p2sso.  Is there a site that can show me visually?

Please advise.  Thank you!

Answer
For the sl 2 tog kw, that means slip 2 together knitwise. To do this take your right needle and insert the point into the next 2 stitches on the left needle as if you were going to knit them. Slip them to the right needle.

For p2sso, that means pass 2 slipped stitches over.

So, first your sl 2 tog kw, then knit 1 stitch. Then take the two stitches that you just slipped previously and pull both of them over the stitch you just knitted.

As for visual aids, none found. If you need some after this, let me know.

Fran
