Easiest way is to use software that is capable of doing this, like Paint.net.

If you are bond to use a 256 colors program (For example, MS paint) put magenta (full red and blue, no green)where you want transparent, Knytt Stories automatically deletes the magenta pixels.

I used paint for my christmas tileset (if you've seen it) and didn't know that magenta was removed in game. Now GIMP is useless since i don't understand 99% of what i can do with it. But i'll keep it for semi-transparent pixels and if I find out how to do this.
