Everyone that is not so familiar with crochet then the decrease will be a complicated part. If you do it wrong you will get a hole there. You can go a few ways to decrease with single crochet. The easiest way is to connect two single crochet. Alternatively, you can just skip the stitch.

We start with single crochet.

To make the work a little easier choose a thicker yarn and the fitting crochet hook.

1.Variation

Get the crochet hook into a stitch and get the yarn over.
