We say that knitting is just two things: knitting and purling. But that isn’t really true. There are some other moves that admittedly aren’t any more difficult than knitting and purling that are super common and good to know for shaping knitting.
I’m talking about increases and decreases, of course, and we’ve put together an handy infographic that covers the basics of increasing and decreasing, what different methods look like and how they are formed.
Keep it as a reference when you need a refresher, or use it to learn a new skill. (You can find more in-depth tutorials for each one of them at About Knitting if you need more information.)
I hope you like this infographic and if there’s more knitting information you’d like to see in such a format, let me know!

@ Janet You could download the image. Right click and you will see the options.
Happy knitting.
Downloading the image gives you a picture to fit on one page. This means you only get what will fit on the first page and lose all the rest.
Sarah, thank you for this wonderful and helpful infographic!
Can u share the video of infographics pictures…
For the centered double decrease it should say slip two stitches -together- as if to knit.
