    They are …
    They are essentially the same thing except that they slant in different directions. So, you would use (generally) an ssk on the right side of your row and a k2tog on the left side of your row so that they will look balanced. Otherwise the knitting will look a little “off kilter” if your decreases all slant in the same direction.

  25. savvyspirals Says:

    Hey knitwitch… …
    Hey knitwitch… your videos are PRICELESS! Lifesavers. Would you be willing to explain the difference between SSK and K2Tog? I don’t understand the difference between the two. Why use one rather than the other? Aren’t they essentially the same thing???
