Techniques Used In The Slippy Cowl

Sl 1 - Slip One Stitch
Keeping yarn to the wrong side of work, insert right hand needle purlwise into stitch and slip onto right needle.

K2tog-L - Knit 2 tog with a Left Slant
Knit 2 sts together so the working needle is pointing to the left as it enters the stitch (dec will slant to the left)
aka SSK, k2togTBL or skp.

K2-tog Bind Off
K2tog-L, slip the stitch just created back onto the left needle and repeat. Work to the end and pull the fiber tail through the last loop.

Provisional Cast On
This is a term used to describe a temporary cast on which can be easily removed later, leaving a row of live stitches to be slipped onto a needle and worked. One favorite method is to crochet a chain in waste yarn with at least as many sts as you would like to cast on. Tie off the end of the chain, placing a knot in the tail. Slip your knitting needle into the bump at the back of each chain, creating a “stitch” on the needle. When desired, the chain can be loosened and pulled off at the knotted end.
