Single Crochet Stitch and Double Crochet Stitch Decreases.

Decreasing crochet stitches is very easy and in this post i'm showing you how to decrease a single and a double crochet stitch decreases. 

Decreasing a stitch means making the stitch count less and hence reducing the area of crochet design.

We will begin with the Double crochet Stitch Decreases.

It is very easy and if you read my post carefully you will catch up everything easily and learn it in one go InshaAllah!

Steps.

1. Wrap yarn around the hook.

2. Insert through the chain.

3. Pull yarn through the chain.

4. You will have 3 loops on the hook.

5. Pull yarn through two loops.

6. We will be left with two loops on the hook.

7. Wrap the yarn over the hook once again.

8. Insert the hook in the next chain stitch.

9. Pull yarn through it.

10. We will have 4 loops on the hook.

11. Pull through two.

12. This will leave us with the three loops on the hook.

13. Pull yarn through all of these loops.

14. This will reduce two of our stitches to one and hence one double crochet stitch is decreased.

The next is the Single crochet Stitch Decrease.

It is easier than the double crochet stitch decrease.

Steps.

1. Insert the hook in the chain stitch.

2. Pull yarn through it.

3. We will have two loops on the hook.

4. Now insert hook in the next chain stitch.

5. Pull yarn through it too.

6. We will have three loops on the hook.

7. Pull yarn through all of them.

8. This completes our one single crochet decrease.

9. The two stitches are reduced to one.
