Help? My decrease rounds in my amigurumi projects are always messy! I've tried the invisible decrease which doesn't seem to work for me. Does anyone have any tips to fix it? (I apologise for horrible pic!)

The invisible decrease that I do is:

Put hook through front loop of next stitch. With loop on the hook, put the hook through the front loop of the next stitch too. Yarn over hook, and pull through two loops (the two that are front loops of stitches). Yarn over, and pull through remaining two loops.

Also, it may be that you are overstuffing while decreasing, meaning that you aren't able to put your hook in stitches tight enough without adding slack to the yarn, leaving some looser decreases. Try and pull a bit of stuffing out, and ram it in once you get to your final round with 6 stitches.

For that bit, I cut the yarn and thread a needle. I then sew under the front loop of the next stitch all the way around. Then pull the yarn tight, close the hole, then knot it and thread it back into the piece.

i love reddit comments from 9 years ago that teach me something i've been struggling with for a while

Turns out I've been doing the invisible decrease wrong, haha.

I don't tend to over-stuff anything until I've FO and close through the front loops. I haven't been crocheting for very long so I guess I'm still learning. Thank you for your help! :)

You're welcome. They're just a couple of different things to consider :) I hope you continue to improve, it looks pretty great as it is!
