2 Double Crochet Decrease (2 dc tog) — Step-by-Step Guide

The 2 dc together (2 dc tog) is essentially the standard dc decrease using two stitches, often written as dc2tog.

It is the most common decrease for shaping in double crochet patterns.

Best Uses for 2 dc tog

Standard shaping in blankets, hats, and garments
Decreasing stitch count while keeping even fabric
Amigurumi shaping

Tips for All dc Decreases

Maintain even tension to avoid bulky decreases.
Always count stitches carefully; each decrease counts as one stitch.
Practice on a small swatch to see the slant and smoothness of your decreases.
Use the same hook size as your pattern to maintain consistent gauge.
