I’m glad you found this one informative! It is such a neat technique; I wasn’t sure how many crocheters knew about it.

Crocheting in general, I learned how to make granny squares a long time ago from my mom. I picked up amigurumi making much later, and for that, I learned by self-teaching and using YouTube videos. I will have some new videos teaching how to make the various amigurumi stitches, coming up this week on my Ink & Stitches YouTube Channel. Come by and take a look in the coming days.

I’m sure there are videos out there for lefties! Glad that I could turn you on to a new stitch 🙂

You are so welcome, Susan! It is a fabulous stitch to have under your belt. The only time I ever use a standard decrease now, is when I’m making a flat piece like a coat or dress for one of my characters. Since these are worked by chaining one at the end and turning the piece, then going back across the prior row, the back loop stitches left behind in an invisible decrease would be visible. On a circular piece, they are hidden inside, so nobody would ever know they were there!

I’ve been crocheting for a long time and haven’t come across that before. By the way, I write fantasy for MG and young adults, although I’ve been working more on picture books lately. (all are pre-published)
I’m going to try the invisible decrease next time I need to decrease. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been crocheting for a few years now without coming across this stitch. I’m left-handed, so your lovely photos and descriptions are Greek to me (#leftyproblems – it’s like looking at words in a mirror), but I’m sure I can find a left-handed version of the stitch on youtube. Thanks for putting me onto it!
