Welcome to another Tip Tuesday - Today’s tip is for my amigurumi makers, showing a quick and easy way to prevent your stitches from slanting, when working in the round. I’ve been hearing that to prevent your stitches from slanting you simply need to pull your stitches in the opposite direction of the slant. At first, I was very skeptical this would ever work but after trying it out I am here to tell you that it does!!! The reason stitches create a slant is because the top of a stitch (the V) never forms directly above the post, it’s always formed slightly to the side. So each time you work a new stitch into that V it automatically shifts the placement of the stitch. To correct the slant all you need to do is pull the last loop of the stitch to the left (or right, if working left handed) shifting the top of the stitch and aligning it with its post. Give it a try! #theknottyboss #amigurumi #crochettutorial #amigurumisecrets #crocheting

✨ Master the basics of shaping in crochet ✨ Whether you want your project to grow bigger (increase) or shrink neatly (decrease)—these two stitches are the secret! 🧶💡 Once you learn inc and dec, you can make amigurumi, garments, and creative crochet patterns with perfect shaping. 💛 Are you Team ➕Increase or Team ➖Decrease? 😉 — @Thread_Tales22 Description⬇️ 🧶 Crochet Tutorial: How to Increase Stitches by @Thread_Tales22 👉 Increase (inc) means making two stitches in the same stitch. This helps your crochet piece expand (used for circles, shaping toys, etc.). Steps (Single Crochet Increase): 1. Insert hook into the stitch. 2. Yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). 3. Yarn over, pull through both loops → 1 sc made. 4. Insert hook into the same stitch again. 5. Repeat the steps → now you have 2 sc in one stitch. 🧶 Crochet Tutorial: How to Decrease Stitches by @Thread_Tales22 👉 Decrease (dec / sc2tog) means turning two stitches into one. This helps your crochet piece shrink / taper (used for shaping toys, dolls, and garments). Steps (Single Crochet Decrease): 1. Insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). 2. Insert hook into the next stitch again, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). 3. Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops. ✅ That’s a Decrease! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Thread_Tales22 #CrochetBasics #CrochetTips #CrochetIncrease #CrochetDecrease #CrochetForBeginners #LearnCrochet #AmigurumiBasics #FiberArt #Thread_Tales22 #CrochetBasics #CrochetIncrease #CrochetDecrease #LearnCrochet #CrochetForBeginners #CrochetTips #AmigurumiBasics #CrochetCommunity #FiberArtFun #CrochetLife #fyp

Welcome to another #JustATipTuesday - Today we’re talking invisible sc decrease, but not just any, in the back loops only! If you ever tried working an invisible decrease into back loops then you know how awkward it can be. The angle of the back loops makes it difficult to insert your hook into both stitches and virtually impossible to draw that hook through. In fact, most times I’d just default to a standard decrease and hope it wouldn’t be that visible…. it always was 😢 That was until I learned this simple trick that allows you to work a BLO invisible decrease, with ease! Instead of inserting your hook into 1st then 2nd stitch of the decrease, just reverse the order (see instructions below) It may sound a bit awkward but once you get the hang of it, it makes working a BLO inv-dec so much better! INSTRUCTIONS: Skip the 1st stitch and insert your hook into the back loop of the 2nd stitch in your decrease. Turn your work sideways (as shown) and insert the hook into back loop of the 1st stitch (turning your work sideways will make it easier to see the 1st stitch) then finish as you would a standard single crochet. If you’ve tried this technique before, let me know what you think of it, and if not you should give it a go! #theknottyboss #crochetsecrets #tiptuesday #crochet #tutorial
