How do you decrease when crocheting?

The simplest method is to just skip a stitch from the previous row (i.e. work 5 stitches where you would normally have worked 6).

The alternative, slightly better, method, is to work the first stitch as you would normally but stop just before you pull the last loop through to complete the stitch. Instead, with 2 loops on the hook, begin working the next stitch and again, stop just before you pull the last loop through to complete the stitch. Now complete both stitches simultaneously by pulling a single strand through all loops on the hook.

What does invdec mean in crocheting?

In crocheting, "invdec" stands for "invisible decrease." It is a technique used to decrease stitches without creating a noticeable gap, resulting in a smoother and more polished appearance in the fabric. This method is often favored in amigurumi and other projects where a neat finish is desired. The invisible decrease is typically worked by crocheting two stitches together in a way that hides the decrease.
