Decreases reduce the number of stitches, often for shaping. They can lean left or right, adding subtle shaping details to items like hats or sweaters.
Examples:

  • Knit Two Together (K2tog): A right-leaning decrease.

  • Slip, Slip, Knit (SSK): A left-leaning decrease.

Tip: Using matching left and right decreases creates symmetry, giving garments a polished, professional look.
