Crochet Decrease Calculator

Formula

To calculate the crochet decrease:

\[ CD = \frac{CS}{DS} \]

Where:

\(CD\) is the Crochet Decrease
\(CS\) is the current number of stitches
\(DS\) is the number of stitches to be decreased

What is Crochet Decrease?

The crochet decrease is a technique used to reduce the number of stitches in a row or round. This is often done to shape the fabric, such as creating the curves of a hat or the waist of a sweater. The decrease is calculated by dividing the current number of stitches by the number of stitches to be decreased.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Current Number of Stitches (\(CS\)) = 100
Number of Stitches to be Decreased (\(DS\)) = 10

Using the formula:

\[ CD = \frac{100}{10} = 10 \]

The Crochet Decrease is 10.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Current Number of Stitches (\(CS\)) = 120
Number of Stitches to be Decreased (\(DS\)) = 15

Using the formula:

\[ CD = \frac{120}{15} = 8 \]

The Crochet Decrease is 8.
