Crochet: Dec with slip stitches

In this video we crochet in the round and show how to dec a sl st by working into two sl sts.
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.

To see a pattern with this technique, see: DROPS Extra 0-942 or click on the picture to the left.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

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.
