An Invisible Decrease (Inv Dec) is my favorite way to decrease amigurumi. A normal decrease tends to add a little bulk to the finished plushie where an invisible decrease is nearly impossible to spot. Grab your yarn so I can teach you how to invisible decrease!

To Crochet An Invisible Decrease
Step 1: Insert the hook into the FRONT loops only of the next 2 stitches. There will be 3 loops on your hook.
Step 2: Yarn over and pull hook through the 2 front loops. 2 loops will remain on hook.
Step 3: Yarn over again and pull through the 2 remaining loops. 1 loop will remain on hook.
