You’ve got knitting and purling down, but now you want to do more than create squares/rectangles. Whether shaping a garment or creating a pattern within a fabric, various styles of increases and decreases can be used! In this skill builder, we’ll create a small swatch demonstrating several visible and invisible increases and directional decreases and touch on techniques to increase or decrease more than 1 stitch at a time.
