Crocheting an increase is a fundamental technique used to add stitches to a crocheted fabric. It is essential for shaping garments, creating intricate patterns, and adding decorative elements to crochet projects.
The most common type of increase is the yarn over (YO) increase. To perform a YO increase, yarn over the hook before inserting it into the next stitch. Once the hook is inserted, complete the stitch as usual. This will create an additional loop on the hook, which will become a new stitch.
