The invisible decrease (invdec) is one of the two absolutely essential techniques for making beautifully neat amigurumi (the other being, of course, the magic ring). But invdec is a little tricky to get the hang of, and there are 2 points during the decrease where you can accidentally lengthen your stitch so it isn’t neat and tight, and the resulting decrease will be far more obvious.
Today I’d like to demonstrate these invdec problem points, so you know where the pitfalls are, and how to avoid them. You’ll find this tutorial useful if:
- You’re new to the invisible decrease technique (watch my video tutorial before you continue reading this!)
- You’ve tried invdec but been disappointed by your results
- Your invdecs look inconsistent, gappy, or too prominent
- You want your amigurumi to look as good as possible!
