Passing Slipped Stitches (Over)
Decreasing With Slipped Stitches

PSSO
The psso, or pass slipped stitch over is a simple decrease that is performed just like a bind off, where you pass the second stitch on the right hand needle over the first stitch on the right hand needle, then off the needle. 
Before you can psso, you must first slip a stitch and then knit a stitch. Slipping should always be done as if to purl, unless otherwise specified. 

Psso By Other Names (Skp)
PSSO often goes by other names and abbreviations, so be on the look out for these! SKP, or slip, knit, pass, is probably the most common as it describes the whole set of stitches that are usually involved when you will be passing a slipped stitch over.
