Sometimes this finicky little stitch is just the ticket to decrease with a resulting left slant.

Ridgely – Part 1
Explore colorwork while knitting this delightful striped shawl with an attached lace border. This is my most comprehensive video to date which covers Intarsia, carrying yarns, detangling, lace work and more.
Right Turn/Left Turn
This cousin to the cable stitch rotates stitches to simulate the classic cable technique.
Right Twist
Twisted stitches create the look of cable stitches without the use of a cable needle. Right twists are simple to execute and are often used to complement cable patterns. I used this stitch in my Laughing Matter socks and, of course, incorporated it into the Building Blocks series. After watching the video tutorial, try this beauty of a stitch in your next project!
Rosette Stitch
The Rosette Stitch is a beautiful pattern that is very simple to execute and may be worked over any multiple of even numbered stitches.
Row 1. (Right Side) Knit.
Row 2. *P2tog leaving the stitches on left hand needle, k2tog these same stitches and remove from left hand needle; repeat from * to end of row.
Row 3. Knit.
Row 4. P1, *P2tog leaving the stitches on left hand needle, k2tog these same stitches and remove from left hand needle; repeat from * to last stitch, p1.
Russian Bind Off
Loose, elastic bind off perfect for toe up socks. Best of all, it is worked in pattern for a beautiful finished edge.
Russian Join
The Russian Join is a great way to join a new skein of yarn in the midst of a project. This join is very sturdy with minimal bulk added to the fabric. Best of all, there are no tails to weave in! I especially like to use the Russian Join in shawls to eliminate the pesky tails that seem to pop out even after careful weaving.
