Thank you for being very clear on this stitch...I keep forgetting how to do it when it comes up in a pattern (specifically baby booties). Have a great day!

Thank you for showing me how to do this. Now I can tackle a new pattern.

I've definitely been doing it wrong. Tricky, though.

[@marlabenabdallah2000]

but why use this stitch?

[@knitpurlhunter]

It's a left leaning decrease and may be needed in shaping to form tidy decrease lines in purl fabric or on the wrong side. It is also found in lace knitting.
