Pretty please You can do it with a garter bar. You put the stitch you want to decrease onto the next needle, leaving one needle empty. Then remove all the stitches to the left (or right) of that double stitch onto the garter bar, move over one needle, then transfer the stitches from the garter bar onto the needles, filling the empty one and moving everything over one stitch. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

Barbara, If you don't have a garter bar, the same thing can be done with a three-prong tool, it just takes longer. And if you have a number of stitches to decrease across the piece, you can do a row of ravel cord, then a few rows of waste yarn, and rehang the work, decreasing as you go. |
