● LL- (Left Lean stitch) - Skip first stitch on your left needle. Knit into back loop of
second stitch, keeping that stitch on your left needle. Next, use your right needle to
slip first stitch purlwise (with yarn in back) and drop second stitch to complete your
LL stitch. (See video link in notes section and picture tutorial at end of pattern for
reference)
● SSK- (Slip, Slip, Knit)- Slip 1st stitch knitwise (with yarn in back). Slip second stitch
knitwise ( with yarn in back). Then, insert left needle into front of both stitches and
knit them together. (This will give the look of a left leaning decrease)

● Super Bulky-If you are a loose knitter, you may want to stay at a size 11/8 mm CN for
the body. If you are a tight knitter, you may want to use a size 15/10 mm CN for the
body.

body or stop at 3 total repeats instead of 4.
