How To: slip stitches wyib or wyif

Learn how to slip stitches to create columns of elongated stitches or create an i-cord edge as you work! This video covers slipping stitches on the RS, the WS and at the edges.
0:50 - sl1 wyib
2:39 - sl1 wyif
3:41 - sl3 wyif
Abbreviations:
- sl: slip a stitch purlwise
- wyib: with yarn in back
- wyif: with yarn in front
If you want to follow along for practice I have used a worsted weight yarn and a US 8 (5mm), 24” / 60 cm circular needle. I have cast on 36 stitches.
Rows 1-4: Knit to last 3 sts, sl3 wyif.
Row 5 (RS): K3, p8, sl1 wyib, p12, k1, p8, sl3 wyif.
Row 5 (WS): K11, sl1 wyif, k12, p1, k8, sl3 wyif.
Rep [Rows 5 and 6] to practice all 3 skills.
