Why do you slip a stitch in knitting?
Slipping a stitch means it isn’t knitted that round. No extra yarn is added. So a slip stitch will naturally pull the yarn a little bit tighter from one row to the next. This results in a consistent tension and stitch size from row to row.
Why is my last stitch loose?
