Invisible Decrease

I prefer the invisible decrease than regular sc2tog.

To make invisible decrease follow this:

Insert your hook into the front loop for the next stitch.
Yarn over (yo) and draw the yarn through the stitch. Insert your hook into the front loop for the next stitch.
Yarn over (yo) and draw the yarn through the stitch. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all 3 loops on your hook.

Gauge / Tension

Not important, just make sure to work tight and use a crochet hook smaller to the recommended for the yarn to ensure that stuffing does not show through or fall out.
