Invisible Decrease Step-by-Step

  • Step 1: Locate the next two stitches you want to decrease. Each stitch has a front loop (closest to you) and a back loop.
  • Step 2: Insert your hook under the front loop only of the first stitch. (Do not yarn over).
  • Step 3: Rotate your wrist and insert the hook under the front loop only of the second stitch. You will have 3 loops on your hook.
  • Step 4: Yarn over (YO) and pull the yarn through the first 2 loops on your hook. You will have 2 loops remaining.
  • Step 5: YO and pull through both remaining loops. Your decrease is complete and completely flat!
  • Pro Tips for Success & Pinterest Styling

    Tension: Pull the yarn slightly tight after completing the decrease to lock it in place and prevent any hole.

    Pinterest Share: A clean twostep photo sequence showing the hook passing through the front loops of two stitches is a top amigurumi search result.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Why does my invisible decrease look messy?

    A: Make sure you are only catching the front loop. If you catch any part of the back loop, the stitch will bundle up and look bulky.

    Q: Can I use this for flat projects?

    A: Yes, but because it is only invisible on one side, it is best suited for 3D amigurumi where only the front side is visible.

    Conclusion

    Mastering this project is a wonderful milestone in your crochet journey. Once you finish, be sure to pin it on Pinterest to save it for your next crafting session and share your beautiful results with the community! Happy crocheting!
