Crochet: Dec with slip stitches
Put hook through first sl st (front loop), put hook through next sl st (front loop), get yarn and pull yarn through both sts = 1 less sl st.
If you are ending a piece, e.g. a mitten, then continue to dec until there are a few sl st left. Cut yarn and pull it through remaining sts. Pull tog and fasten.

I had a design in mind that used slip stiches but i did not know how to increase or decrease in this stitch. I searched the internet, google, youtube etc with no success. I was highly disappointed. As excited as i was about my project, I had to put in on hold. It was only by chance that i found this video on your site. You can't even imagine how happy and excited i was. You are now on my top 5 favorite sites for yarn, patterns and video tutorials. Thank you so much.
