Learning to do the decreasing and increasing stitches.
As the name goes, it is a time in your work when you want to increase or reduce the width of your work.
It gives your work a flared effect or a tapered effect depending on which one you choose.
This decrease or increase effect is applied to all basic crochet stitches using a technique I was taught.
Let’s say, you want to create a pencil skirt, at the beginning of the crochet skirt, you start with the measurement of your waistline e.g. 30 inches.
