Q&A

WHAT IS A SINGLE CROCHET DECREASE?

A single crochet decrease (dec) is a way to make a crocheted piece narrower. It's often used when decreasing the size of an item you are working on.
 There are two types of decreases: a regular  decrease and an invisible decrease.
 For amigurumi, an invisible decrease is preferre as it gives your creations a smoother finish.

WHERE TO PUT THE HOOK AFTER A DECREASE?
 It can be tricky to see where to put the hook after a dec. The telltale sign is the front loop.
 If you see that the front loop of a stitch has been pulled, that’s part of the dec. The hook
 goes under the horizontal V next to that.
