How to decrease 2 stitches towards left and right with 2-colour in English rib

In this DROPS video we show how to decrease 2 stitches towards left and how to decrease 2 stitches towards right.

First we show how to decrease towards left:
= decrease 2 stitches towards the left as follows: slip the first stitch and yarn over onto the right needle as if to knit together, knit the next 2 stitches together (i.e. 1 purl + stitch and yarn over), pass the slipped stitch and yarn-over over the knitted together stitches (= 2 stitches decreased).

Then we show how to decrease toward the right:
= decrease 2 stitches towards the right as follows: slip the first stitch and yarn over onto the right needle as if to knit together, purl 1, pass the slipped stitch and yarn-over over the purled stitch, slip the stitch back onto the left needle, pass the stitch and yarn-over over the stitch which was slipped back onto the left needle and slip the remaining stitch onto the right needle (= 2 stitches decreased).

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
