You can use the dc2tog to create a wide range of crocheting projects, including hats, cardigans, socks, mittens, gloves and scarves. These dc2tog instructions will help you master the stitch with a step-by-step tutorial complete with detailed diagrams.

To decrease in crochet is to eliminate one or more stitches. An external decrease is worked at the beginning or end of a row, at the side edge. Internal decreases, like double crochet two together, are worked within the row. Generally, you’ll find decrease instructions in an individual pattern to suite the particular stitch being worked, but here are the basics on how to double crochet two together.
