Invisible Decrease - Fabulous!

[NexStitch]

I've done this before but I've yet to consider using it in pattern writing until recently. I think our crafty crocheters of the modern era are really showing off how innovative they can be with stitches. It encourages me to want to do the same when I write. I have a bag coming out soon that uses a similar idea to make a decrease after a series of short rows. I'm hoping with the good pictures I've provided that it'll be a breeze.

Thanks so much for sharing. Finding tips like this is one of the main reasons I joined Crochetville!

I am definitely going to try this the next time I need to sc2tog. Thanks for the tutorial.

I wish I could remember to do this. The finished project looks so much nicer.

That is a great tip. I don't do ami's but I can definitely use it on other items. TFS!

This is not only great to know , she has thoughtfully included a way for us lefties:clap

 

Yes, she didn't forget us lefties!

 

I will definitely try that technique next time! TFS!

I've used it on a thread teddy bear that I'm working on. so handy! Thanks June

(why do I keep getting the "why didn't *I* think of that" when I use it? LOL)

[planetjune]

Yay! I'm so glad you're finding it useful too - it's totally revolutionized my crocheting! Decreasing was the one part I just couldn't do neatly enough until I discovered this technique

[Momcrochets]

and it looked nice on those "spiral" scrubbies that are so popular, too!

[stephanianne]

How very clever! I wish I'd have known about this technique last week when I was making a stuffed bear.

 

I'm a lefty who crochets as a righty so the instructions don't really apply to me, but it's nice to see that we're given some consideration.
