Learning how to decrease in crochet is an essential skill for shaping your crochet projects neatly and smoothly. A crochet decrease, often written as dec in patterns, helps make the current row or round shorter than the previous one by combining stitches together. In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet decrease in basic stitches, making it easier to shape amigurumi, garments, and other crochet projects with confidence.
In crochet patterns, a decrease is usually abbreviated as “dec.” It may also be called “crochet two together,” because you are joining two stitches into one. For example, a pattern might say “decrease,” or it might use an abbreviation like “sc2tog,” which means “single crochet two together.”
When you make a single crochet decrease, you work into two stitches next to each other and join them at the top. This helps turn two stitches into one and makes your row or round shorter.
