Description

From the book: "In practice, the knitting action forming the 'peppercorn' is not precisely a slipping of the stitch, since the right-hand needle need not be completely removed from the stitch. Simply insert the left-hand needle into the front of the stitch and knit, drawing through a new loop which is then worked in the same way."
