For pete's sake! I just wanted to close the question, but was deterred from doing so since it was only 22 hours :-( since I posted the question. I HAVE accepted Christine's answer, and I did give her three points. I am not leaving it up to the community to decide. I am perfectly capable.... Do you really think that I have the time to fuss with diverse opinions coming from who knows how many people? I am a busy professional. I wanted to close the question and am told that I have to come back in two hours. For pete's sake!

I would probably go for slip(ped) stitch patterns For UK readers at least, I would go for slipped stitch patterns.
I kan see how knit one below could become a pattern, but generally the instructions seem to be to 'slip a stitch', i.e. transfer it to the other needle without knitting, and then it is picked up later.
One pattern in an old book refers to 'a pretty slipped stitch pattern'.

Have never heard it before ... but it was my grandmother who was the real expert. I used it occasionally as a way of increasing - 'making' a stitch, but what you do is not quite the same.
Some of the pictures are convincing when googled.
Possibly some of the patterns are a little less intricate, or possibly I have only picked a very small sample.

I have a deadline... Client in NZ... I'll look up more later!

Is it a US expression? It depends a bit on your target audience -

Christine. I have another possibility for fangmasker: knit on below. This translation is for a bunch of die-hard knitters so there's no showing up with the wrong term... What do you think of that suggestion?
