2tog
Crochettwo together
Description
In crochet patterns, this abbreviation directs you to work two stitches together to perform a decrease.
Detailed explanation
“2tog” stands for “two together” and acts as a suffix indicating a decrease in the stitch count. It is almost always combined with a specific stitch name, such as sc2tog (single crochet two together) or dc2tog. By partially completing two adjacent stitches and joining them at the top, the fabric narrows. This technique is fundamental for shaping structural elements in garments or sculpting amigurumi.
