What's the dif? ssk and k2tog

Nevermind, shoulda googled first. Found a nice video.

I'm following Interweave's "Leaves on a Path" scarf pattern. Very pretty, imo. When I follow the directions for ssk decrease, it seems like the same result as the easier k2tog which makes me think I'm doing something wrong, lol.

k2tog is a left leaning decrease and ssk is a right leaning decrease, I think. It's a slight difference.

Yeah, it was just that the written directions with the pattern for doing the ssk were such that my following them resulted in the same thing. But maybe I was misunderstanding. Or they were written poorly. The video cleared it right up.
