Learn how to decrease at both sides of a panel to crochet shaping for armholes. For the full free v-neck shirt pattern I'm using in the video visit https://christacodesign.com/short-sle...

In this video I show you how to decrease at the start of the armhole section of your crochet top. This allows for less bulk in the sleeve area by just decreasing (sc2tog) a few stitches.

To create a gently sloping decrease, you will alternating one row with decreases on both ends, with one row without any decreases. Continue to repeat both these rows until the sides of your panel are 1" - 3" narrower.

For the written pattern that uses this technique, check out the crochet v-neck top in children's sizes here:
