To work a SC2tog stitch, insert the hook into the first stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook.
• 2. Single Crochet Increase (2 sc in each st): This stitch is used to increase the stitch count in a round, creating a wider shape. In this pattern, it is used in several rounds for the head, body, and legs of the Panda to double the number of stitches from the previous round.
