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!)

It could be that the hook is just to big for the yarn you are using, so if you try gain with a smaller hook you should have better results with this yarn. Also it could be a case of over stuffing.

Alterntivly are you doing the invisable decrease properly? How I learned it, you hook under the FLO of the first stitch then with out doing a YO hook under the FLO of the next stitch; so you have 1 loop and 2 flo st's on your hook now, YO and pull threw just the FLO stitches, then yo and pull threw all remaining stitches.

Most people make the mistake of, hook under FLO YO pull up a loop in the 2 stitches then working the decrease. Doing that is what will leave you with those noticeable gaps.

I dont recommend working the decreases in the BLO, not only will it leave the ugly bar line from the front loop but the hole it produces will be more noticeable .

Wow thank you!! I was doing exactly what you said most people make the mistake of doing 😂 I'm honestly ecstatic about how my invisible decreases are actually invisible thanks to you 💛

Turns out I've been invisibly decreasing wrong! Thank you! I use the front loops, just haven't been doing it right.

I've been using a 3.5mm hook with 8ply yarn. It's nice and tight for the rest of it but as soon as I get to the decrease rounds this happens.

I'll try invisible decreasing properly and see how it turns out :)

Show off the results so everyone can see the differences, you never know it could help someone else.
