I always have a problem when making things like this. The part where I decrease always looks hole-y. The decreases are very obvious and create holes, essentially. Is there any way to fix this?
ReplyDeleteAn alternative would be to not do the decrease stitches. Instead weave the yarn through the last round and pull it shut that way.
