Decreasing (basic knitting tutorial)

In simplest terms, decreasing is treating two stitches as one. Slide the tip of your working needle into two stitch loops.
Wrap the yarn around the tip to make a new stitch. Pull the yarn through both loops.


Let the old stitches fall of the needle. Count your stitches. You have one fewer stitch than you had before you began decreasing.
