Hi i think this is a lovely stitch. I have a question. If i want to make a decrease, how do i do it? Im a novice in crochet thanks

Im not sure how to decrease using this stitch. But to decrease using a single corchet its- instert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull through (now have 2 loops on hook), insert hook in next stitch, yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops- decreasing with a double crochet is pretty much the same thing but with an extra loop in the begining still pulling through 3 loops and then pulling through 2 loops. I hope this made enough sense and that it helps u out

I wonder please, is this fabric flexible or stretchy? It's quite pretty and would like to use it for a sock pattern.
