To decrease (dec) over a stitch in crochet, you typically use the "single crochet two together" (sc2tog) method. Insert your hook into the first stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Then, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over again, and pull up another loop, leaving you with three loops on your hook. Yarn over once more and pull through all three loops to complete the decrease.

What does post mean in crochet?

The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.


Define the crochet term working around For example Working around next 4 ch-5 spaces and next slip st?

Its not possible to work around a crochet space because a space has nothing in it. However it is possible to work around a crochet stitch such as the post of the actual crochet stitch. You can work a crochet slip stitch over the top of crochet chains and stitches to get to another place in your crochet piece. You can also work crochet stitches around the post of a stitch. The term working around the space does not make any sense and is not good language for describing written instructions.


How do you single and double crochet?

The following is the American meaning of double crochet. The British system would call this stitch a treble. A British d.c. is an American single crochet. Double crochet is one of the three basic stitches of crochet: chain, single crochet and double crochet. To make a double crochet: 1. Put the working yarn over the hook (this is called a "yarn over"). 2. Insert the hook in the next stitch in the row below. 3. Yarn over again and pull that yarn over back out through the stitch. There are now three loops on the hook. 4. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the first two looks on the hook. Two loops remain on the hook. 5. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the remaining two loops. When you finish a row and turn, start a row of double crochet by first chaining three stitches. This chain-3 counts as the first stitch of the row. For a single crochet, chain only one to start a new row.
