Awesome. Is this a sctog? If yes does that mean all tog stitches decreases.
If you do not have a video on end row stitches can you do one can y ou do one.This is my issue, end of row stitches and keeping my edges straight.

I am trying to figure out how to decrease braid stitch. I've been experimenting with a couple ideas but I'm not sure they'll work and not look completely insane since the stitches aren't consistent. It goes dc, tc to row below, dc, then the next 3 stitches and the tc to the row below.

Hello, nice channel 😊
Please will you make a video to explain and show how to decrease on two sides of the same piece of work in single crochet?

For example, the piece which you have worked in this video makes a right angle triangle.

I want to make an Isosceles triangle.

I'm doing a decrease at each side on the same row, but the finished piece looks like a decrease only on one side.

I don't understand what is going wrong.

I just finished a row of 30 stitches. Pattern reads for next row, do a sc dec in next two st, then sc into next four stitches. So, how many stitches should I have when finished with this row?

Can you suggest a decrease for hat triangle shaped ear flaps from 12 or 13 stitches wide to a point to add yarn braids at the end?
Is it better to start with an even number or odd number at the base/wide part of the ear flap? How many decreases per row for a ear flap? Thank you.

How would you do this wedge shape it you needed two rows of the same number of stitches. Example two rows of 20 then two rows of 19. And so on.

Hope you can help, I am crocheting a cardigan with HDC vertical rows. I want to decrease the front panels to make them V shaped. I know how to decrease with horizontal rows but can't figure out for vertical 🙃

I need help with this decrease. Pattern says Rnd 13: ch 1, (sc in next 4 sc, dec) 6 times;join. Do I do 4 sc then one decrease & repeat that 6 times? Please explain. This is for the head of a small angel.

My pattern says single crochet 23, turn, single crochet 22. Which to me seems like a decrease. Is that how you would interpret that? Many thanks, Jo

[lesleymclaren]

Is this referred to in a pattern as a 'dec at end and same edge'?

[AliBaba-kejn]

Dark yarn on a dark background is too hard for my 76 year old eyes to see. The speed is also too hard to keep up with. Wish I could see it better. Sorry.
