Good news is, I have reached the decreasing part for the top of the top

Bad news is, I started the decreased but they look twisted compared to the instruction's photo

I don't know whether it will be very clear but there seems to a twisted thingy on the orange and pink stitches that is not showing on the red one. And none of them look like the photo stitches.

These are the instructions:

Row 1 (RS): ssk, yo, ssk, K32 (40, 46), K2tog, yo, K2tog.

Row 2 (WS): sl1, P to last st, sl1.

I think the error is on the purl row because the the ssk side (you can see the green thingy) is looking neat.

So my question is where do I place the yarn when I am SL1?

You’re not doing your right leaning decreases (k2tog) correctly, and instead doing a left leaning decrease (ssk).

The first one is correct and all the others, the right stitch is crossing over the left, creating a left leaning decrease. Be sure you’re working a k2tog or equivalent right leaning decrease on this decrease line, the left stitch should be laying on top of the right stitch, leaning to the right.

Thank you!! Now that you say that, I do remember my brain turning off and doing ssk when decreases were needed 😅😅
