"Full fashioned" is a term that indicates decreases are intentionally visible. When working decreases along the armhole of the body of the sweater and the sleeve cap, they are placed one or two stitches in from the edge. When worked in this manner, the decreases add a decorative touch and enhance the overall design of the sweater. They also make finishing much easier, as there is a clear "rung" which one can use to mattress stitch the garment together.
The decreases as worked in this method show a clear line of stockinette stitch running along the lines of the armholes. The method used to decrease, of which there are many, is imperative to how these lines end up appearing.
Remember that all decreases are worked one or two stitches in from the edge. I've never tried working them farther in than this although I would imagine that the body and sleeve cap would not pull in correctly if worked much farther in than this.
Different decrease methods have a definite slant to them, some to the left and others to the right. The decreases must slant in the correct direction in order for the garment to flow properly.
Generally, decreases are made on the right side. With the right side facing you, decreases on the right hand side of the sweater should slant left while those on the left hand side should slant right. In other words, the beginning of the row should have left slanted decreases and the end of the row should have right slanted decreases.
The left slanting decrease of choice for this method is ssk (slip one, slip one, knit two together). Left slanting decreases, because they involved slipping stitches one way or the other, do not produce a true stockinette looking decrease. This method, however, I believe is the least noticeable and most neatly matches the decrease that will be used on the other side.
To work ssk, slip a stitch knitwise from the left to the right needle, then slip a second stitch in the same manner. Insert the left needle into the fronts of the two slipped stitches and knit them together.
The right slanting decrease to use is knit two together (k2tog). It does produce a true stockinette stitch decrease. To work k2tog, knit as usual only insert the right needle into two stitches on the left needle instead of one.
