Knit two together

A right-leaning decrease that knits two stitches as one.

How to work it

Insert the right needle through the next two stitches at once, as if to knit, then knit them together. It removes one stitch and leans to the right, so it pairs with ssk (which leans left) for symmetric shaping.
