yarn over (yo)
k2tog : right slanting sigle
decrease, knit next 2 stitches together
ssk : a left slanting
single decrease, slip one stitch as if to knit, slip the next stitch as if to purl, knit the two together through the back loops.
s2kp : a centered double
decrease: slip next 2 sts together, knitwise, as if to work a k2tog. Knit next stitch, then pass both slipped stitches together over stitch just knit.
