A common way of decreasing the number of stitches on a row is to
knit two stitches together (K2TOG) … this decreases the number
of stitches on the row by one stitch every time. But you can
also make multiple decreases by knitting 3 stitches together …
this decreases the number of stitches on the row by two stitches
every time. The knitting pattern may give you instructions on
how to make the decrease, so do follow these if they are
provided. If your pattern does not give instructions, the
technique in the tutorial below gives a balanced decrease, as
shown in the sample. The centre stitch of the decrease lies on
top, and the knitting slopes at either side. Here are the steps
to make this decrease …. Step 1: Put the tip of the right hand
needle knitwise into the second and then the first stitches on
the left needle (as if you were going to knit 2 together). Step
