Basic Stitches: invisible decrease (inv dec)

The invisible decrease is the gold standard for amigurumi. Unlike the standard decrease, it leaves no visible gaps or bumps, making your stuffed toys look professional and smooth.

Steps:
1. First Front Loop: Insert your hook into the front loop only of the first stitch. (The loop closest to you).
2. Second Front Loop: Immediately insert your hook into the front loop only of the next stitch. (You now have 3 loops on your hook).
3. Yarn Over (yo): Wrap the yarn and pull it through the first two loops on your hook. (You now have 2 loops left).
4. Finish: Yarn over again and pull through both remaining loops.
5. Done: Two stitches merged invisibly!
Pro Tip: Keep your tension slightly tighter than usual during this stitch to ensure the "invisible" effect is perfect.
