? re "slip first stitch for nice edge"

Regarding pattern instruction that says slip first stitch for a nice edge (particular for scarfs, etc.), does that literally mean to simply slip the first stitch on the row (as though knitting it) from left to right needle and continue the pattern on the second stitch on?

I think so, but want to be sure. It looks odd when I do it....

That is exactly what it means.
Does look good when finished.
this scarf has a slipped stitch edging.
