Decreasing stitches
To shape your knitting, i.e. armholes and necklines, you decrease stitches by knitting together 2 stitches.
Most decreases are done from the right side, but you may need to decrease from the wrong side, e.g. when a pattern requires you to decrease on every row.
Put the needle into 2 stitches and knit these as 1 stitch.
