Increase (inc) — crochet stitch tutorial
Makes a circle grow. '[sc 3, inc] x6' means the round gains exactly 6 stitches.
UK terminology: increase (2 sts in 1)
How to work it
- Work 2 single crochet into the SAME stitch.
- The stitch count for that round rises by 1 per increase.
Tips
- These patterns use aligned increases. For a rounder disc, stagger their positions while preserving the same total increases and stitch count.
- Always confirm the bracketed count at the end of a round before moving on.
