Invisible INcreases

1

Ok so I found out yesterday invisible increases are a thing. Apparently there’s some varying ways of doing it.

  1. You do one part in both loops and the other part of the increase in only one loop (either back or front)
  2. You do one stitch in the front loop and one in the back

Supposedly this reduces holes with your increases. Has anyone used this? I’m curious to know or if not, if you’re gonna start.

  • Yes, I’ve used this and use option 1
  • Yes, I’ve used this and use option 2
  • No, but plan to try it
  • No, not planning on trying it

Since I’ve learned about it, I’m using it all the time when working in rounds (for amigurumi) and it works great and does reduce holes and simply looks cleaner (in my opinion). I do the first stitch in FLO and the other(s) in both loops.

Increase holes do happen. Not often but when they do, they’re annoying. Got one in my current WIP which is why I posed the question but I’m not gonna frog it to try it lol

I searched invisible increase a while ago and got so many ways and ofc I picked the way that no one else uses but I tend to just use the normal decrease the most

There’s one that crafty intentions used and I love it but there’s no formal name for it so I don’t put it in my patterns because no one would understand lol. Plus seems like it’s her stitch almost. It’s called a but it’s actually an increase. You work one sc then in that same stitch you start your decrease, end in the next stitch, and then do another sc in that stitch. So you basically are adding a stitch between 2 and I love it so much lol. So much cleaner but feels rude to use it
