Published on the :28/10/2021

Are you new to knitting? Don't panic, you're in the right place! We have prepared a series of videos with thebasics of knitting. Learning to knit has never been so easy, get started!

Discover in this video how to make a decrease in knitting, in other words how to remove stitches on a row to reduce the width. It's simple, to make a decrease, you just have to knit two stitches together.
How to make an "invisible" or "simple" decrease: with your straight needle, stitch the two stitches together and knit them as if they were a single stitch. One stitch has been removed, you go from 3 stitches to 2 stitches. Then knit your row as normal.
You can make as many decreases as possible in a row. It is possible to make a decrease in the course of a row to knit a cap, on the sides of a row to make armholes or to make a neckline.

Knitting is a manual activity far from being a has-been. On the contrary, it is totally trendy. It is one of the favorite creative hobbies of women creators, it is even addictive.
Have a look at ourknitting tutorials and train yourself to make a knitted fabric with foam stitch or a bonnetknitting with decreases. A great exercise to learn this technique. Follow our tips and the basics of knitting will no longer be a secret for you!
