Stitch Instructions and Definitions
Single Crochet Decrease - This is joining 2 single crochet together and reducing them down to 1 single crochet. You insert the hook through the first stitch, wrap the yarn over the hook and pull the yarn through. There will be two loops on the hook.  Insert the hook through the next stitch, wrap the yarn over and pull it through. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through all 3 loops. 



Continual Round - The purpose of the continual round is to eliminate joining and seams.  You can start a continual round on any joined round.  The technique is done by working the first stitch in top of the stitch you would typically join the round. It is creating a jog up. When you come around to the beginning of the next round, you will not have to join.  Most likely there will be increasing on a continual round.  You will want to use a yarn marker to mark the first or last stitch, so you have an idea where to make your increase rounds. 

Yarn Marker - I just use scrap piece of yarn to mark rounds. I have also used paper clips and bread twisty ties.

Time Code is noted in this video on each segment.  You can click on each segment in the written instructions to be taken ahead in the video or you can scroll to the time code.
