hello my name is missopportunitybetter known is bbq.. nice to be in the company of those i feel is the best and will give me the help and encouragement to get back in the grove... what i know i learned on my on and have made a few things tht i'm proud of... have two projects in my closet that have been there for a year...unfinished,but now i'm interested in makeing the mary jane slippers.was lookin at some sites but was not satisfied.. would rather hav a printed pattern.... then accidentally ran up on this site... thanks,look forward to chating... the first thing that i want to know that discouraged me is this: HOW DO YOU ADD A STITCH AND DROP A STITCH...

First howdie and welcome....in crochet to increase (add a stitch) you would do two stitches in one spot...for example, lets say you've done your foundation stitch, and are working in single crochet....so you would do two single crochets in one stitch...as for the decrease (drop a stitch) you would put two of the previous stitches and make it into one...hope this helps..I think you want knitting advice but I'm not a knitter. Happy crocheting. I do knook though.

couldn't have said it better increase is just what it say putting in how many ever stitches it says sometimes it is on sometimes more these are worked in the same stitch as for the drop stitch for sc you pick up a stitch but don't work it off then pick up another stitch in the next stitch or ch then work them off together. dc or tr you work off to the last of the stitch so you still have an extra loop on the hook and do that again then work them off at once
