- Increase (inc): Insert your hook into the first stitch, and make a single crochet. In the same stitch, make another single crochet. This counts as one increase.
- Decrease (dec): To decrease, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up another loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook. This is one decrease.
