Crochetcrocheting multiple stitches together (UK)
Description
A decrease technique in UK crochet patterns that joins two double crochet stitches into one.
Detailed explanation
Standing for “double crochet two together,” this abbreviation indicates a method for decreasing stitch count. In UK terminology, the double crochet corresponds to the US single crochet, making this technique equivalent to the US sc2tog. By working two stitches partially and joining them at the top, you reduce the fabric width for shaping.
