Invisible decrease

Two stitches joined into one to shape and close amigurumi neatly.

How to work it

For an invisible single crochet decrease, insert your hook into the front loop only of the next two stitches (three loops on the hook), then yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two. It reduces your stitch count by one and hides the join far better than a standard sc2tog.
