Can you explain how to calculate the # of stitchs to increase and # of stitches to crochet before each increase?

[@thepudgyrabbit]

This can depend on your starting stitch count and how quickly you want your piece to get larger. My first round usually starts with 6 stitches and I like to do 6 increases per round.
To figure out many stitches to make before each increase, I take the stitch count of the current round divided by the # of increases I want to make and then subtract 1.
For example:
At the end of my round, I have 18 stitches and want to increase by 6. (18/6 = 3. 3 -1=2, so for the next round, I need to do 2 stitches before my increase.

[@pearlsim7200]

@@thepudgyrabbit Thank you I will give this calculation a try.

[@Zomoroda89]

Should i decrease all the row along?

[@thepudgyrabbit]

I would start with a few decreases per row. For example, if your round has 20 stitches, you could decrease it by 5, so you would *sc 2, dec 1* and repeat that set 5 times. Decreasing along the entire row may cause your round to wrinkle.

[@rxchxl]

Could you please show how to change from an increase/decrease back to a normal single crochet and vice versa, and which stitch is the 'first stitch' in the round when you start with an increase or a decrease? My stitch count always ends up wrong for some reason!

[@emperor8716]

use stitch markers! i used to mess up so much before using them, not anymore.

[@alishbashujaat9875]

Isn’t single crochet decrease the same as sc2tog?

[@thepudgyrabbit]

Yes! Sc2tog is another way to write a single crochet decrease

[@parveenghafoor7162]

How can i decrease mens hat seiches?

[@thepudgyrabbit]

Do you mean decreasing for a different stitch other than single crochet?
