How to decrease invisibly (dec) in amigurumi
in this video you’ll learn how to do a decrease stitch a decreased single crochet stitch to be exact you do this stitch when you want to make your crochet piece smaller and the concept behind a decrease stitch is that you’re going to take two stitches in the previous round and transform them into one stitch in the current round so to begin with you need to identify where to put your hook so here you can see these two stitches are the next two stitches that I would be crocheting into to do an invisible decrease which is the type of decrease stitch you tend to do an AMA Kurumi or crocheted stuff toys you only need to put your hook through the front loops of these loops so these loops are called the top loops of a stitch these two normally you put your hook under both of these but for an invisible decrease stitch you’re going to put it only through the front loop so you put it through the front loop of the first stitch then you put it through the front loop of the second stitch then you yarn over pull it through the two front loops yarn over again and pull it through the remaining two loops on your hook and now you can see you’ve successfully turned these two stitches into one stitch here so it can get a little bit confusing especially when you’re first learning to a death by where do you put your hook in next so it’s a little bit easier when you do the invisible decrease method because you can see that you’ve just crocheted and picked up only the front loops of these previous stitches so here’s another angle you know if you were to pull on the stitch you just made you can see it’s these pieces of yarn that are moving which means this is actually the next complete stitch in the round so that’s the stitch where you’re gonna insert your hook only hip front loop and again into the front loop of the next stitch yarn over pull it through yarn over and pull it through the remaining two stitches and you can see how it’s already tightening up this crochet piece

This video and the instructions for Cornelius the bee are not accurate. I learned after 3 tries that the invisible decrease she’s teaching here is in fact done “twice”. Yes – you do it twice- the # of stitches will not decrease if you don’t. Also be VERY mindful of when’re the next stitch hole is.
@dharmallars
I’m confused…..I thought we were supposed to be working from the “outside,” putting the hook into what will be the inside of the piece from the outside. Now this is being worked on from the inside out. If I flip my piece then it’s backwards and I’m not left handed. I mean…..do I just go through the “back” two loops of the stitches then?

I figured out how to switch between the dec and the sc. The pattern I have says [2 Sc, dec] x 8 (24) but I could only get to 20. So instead I alternated between [2 Sc, dec] (first) and [3 Sc, dec](second). I started the 3sc inside the dec that came before it. so for 3sc don't go to the next open stich.
I hope this helps someone.

Oh wow, I'm going to have to practice this! LOL My poor egg is a tiny bit square. Thank you though, it made a lot more sense vs reading how to do it.
@shannondobney
There needs to be a video that explicitly shows how to alternate between dec and sc. Also this isn't a good demo for the axolotl pattern because by this point, we've already inverted the piece to the "correct side" so it's not clear if we should be picking up the inside stitch or the outside stitch. 🙁
@AndrewJannakos
This is not step by step haha
@Animefreak80
Little confusing following the last vid on the Narwal pattern because we were working from the outside of the project in that case one
@matango6133
I just ran out of white yarn at round 15 with just 10 stitches left. 😢
@mmnickman5193
When you turn your peice inside out and go the other way is the front stitch the inside or outside stitch?
@julialin8745
So for decreacse stitch, you do this action once or twice?
@dominiquestewart3066
I need a video of how to go from a decrease stitch to a single stitch
@DBRMT
Help! By "front" are you referring to "right" side or "wrong " side out? I'm new so can't tell which side thar is you're calling "front"
