Literally - the stitch appears to lean towards the left (SSK versus K2tog).
Slip one stitch (from the left needle to the right), knit the next 2 stitches together, than pass the slipped stitch over the finished K2tog stitch.
K2 is simply knitting for two separate stitches. this is different from K2tog which means knit two together, where you treat the next two stitches as though they are one.
Pass slipped stitch over. E.g. SK2P = Slip one stitch, K2tog, pass slipped stitch over the stitch just worked. -- thus decreasing by 2 stitches.
