Double Decreases 3 Ways

Double decreases come up in all sorts of knitting patterns but frequently in mitered square projects and bottom-up raglan sweaters. Most of these patterns are written with the designer’s preferred method of double decrease, but there are options available if you prefer a different look or are designing a piece on you own.

In this video we will take a look at the sk2p which is worked over 3 stitches, a paired ssk and k2tog which is worked over 4 stitches, and a paired decrease with a central column of stitches which is worked over 5 stitches. Compare the methods and pick the one that works best for your project.
