Front Post and Back Post Double Crochet

Working around the front and back post double crochet is great for providing some texture to any project! I love creating the ribbed stitches, by working around the post for multiple rows, for a fun and stretchy look. I have been using post stitches a lot lately for my alligator (creating spikes on the back/tail), pants waist band, and bear hat. Just remember that it makes your rows of double crochet a little bit shorter! You can always work around the post for other stitches, but the double crochet is the most popular.Read More »

Baby Pom-Pom Hat and Diaper Cover

I absolutely love ribbed stitches! I have been using more and more of the front post double crochet (FPDC) and the back post double crochet (BPDC), for my items. They work so well for a variety of items or just to add some texture. One of the best parts about using ribbed stitches is that is has a nice stretch to it, for hats and waist bands. Therefore, I decided that my next free hat pattern will be using this technique! I will be posting a picture tutorial on how to work around the post next weekend with a free little bear hat pattern, that will be a similar design to my pom-pom hat!Read More »
