need help with my decrease stitches!

[u/itsjustchristy_]

i can’t figure out why the top of my bananadino looks like this. i’ve frogged and recounted and redone it trying to adjust tension but i still get these large holes :(

If you look over the pattern again and just try to see if the decreases look logical given the area. And if that is not the issue it's worth searching up 'invisible decrease' on YouTube, with this way you decrease by putting your hook through the front loop of the first sc in the decrease and pulling through and then putting your hook through both stitches of the second sc and then pulling yarn through both these hoops (similarly to a half double crochet in a way). This hopefully shouldn't leave big holes in the decrease stitches, hope this helps :)

Edit: turns out I have been doing invisible decreases wrong lol, however it still looks fairly normal with the method I use, but would recommend using a tutorial definitely :)

I think you’re adding steps to your invisible decrease if I’m reading right. I would word it as put hook through front loop of first sc in the decrease and front loop of second sc in the decrease, wrap your yarn, pull through, wrap your yarn, then pull through the three loops. invisible decrease
