How do I "knit slipped stitch"?

Hi Dirus,

This sounds like a cable stitch without a cable.
Sometimes, you can loose a slipped stitch if not careful.
I would suggest placing a slipped stitch (more like a dropped st) on a cable needle or double pointed needle for time being.

Here is how to do it;

K2, sl 1 st on to a cable needle and leave it in front of work, knit the next 2 sts, then go back and knit a stitch on a cable. You now have a right st crossing over 2 left sts.

After doing this for awhile you may want to try without a cable needle.

Thanks for the question. Have fun knitting!

Ratcha
