Increase: meaning and how to work it

Working two stitches into the same stitch to widen the fabric. Spacing increases evenly each round gives you a flat circle or a ball shape.

How to work it

  1. Work one single crochet into the next stitch.
  2. Work another single crochet into that same stitch.
  3. Patterns usually write this as "inc" or "2 sc in next st".
