Special Stitches

How to decrease stitch (abbreviation is “dec”): This is otherwise known as “sc2tog” and here are those instructions. Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook. That is one decrease.

Notes – Beginning stitches count as a stitch throughout this pattern. This pattern for adult is worked holding 2 strands together.
