Abbreviations in this pattern:
SKP– slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over. To complete this technique, you must slip one stitch knitwise, knit the next stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over the knit stitch and off of the needle. This is a single decrease and it slants to the left.
KFB– Knitting in the front and back of the same stitch is one way to increase the row by one stitch.
