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 term describes a temporary cast-on that 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.
