A crochet pattern often requires the crafter to ‘increase’ stitches.
Simply defined = add two stitches into one within a row per
instruction.
The extra stitch can be placed at the beginning, the end, in the
middle portion or even every other stitch.
Whenever you Increase stitches, you accomplish a different shape
design.
Pay close attention to your pattern’s instructions. Increases often
are repeated and the instructions are written between parentheses.
Instructions with illustrations prove to be quite beneficial and now a
