Tutorial: Centered double decrease
adminI love this centered double decrease because it pops the center stitch. It's great for use as the center "V" stitch in V-necks, mitered cornered edgings, and lace...
Complete Instructions: Work to 1 stitch before marked stitch. Slip the next 2 stitches together as if to work a K2tog. Knit the next stitch on the working needle. Pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch.
Step 1: Work to 1 st before marked stitch.
(If working in lace, or as a regular decrease, skip to step 2.)
(If working in lace, or as a regular decrease, skip to step 2.)
Step 2: Slip next stitch plus center stitch as if to knit them together (K2tog), but don't actually knit them together.
Step 3: Knit the next stitch available on the working needle.
Step 4: Slip the 2 slipped stitches over the just-knitted stitch.
Step 5: Voilà! You have a centered double decrease (also abbreviated as CDD)!
