How Do You Front Post Double Crochet?
The front post double crochet stitch adds texture to your crochet project by pulling the post of the stitch forward. It looks great in sweaters and afghans, particularly those that are meant to be used or worn in the coldest weather. Begin with a row of double stitches. Turn and work one double stitch in the next row. Choose which stitches will be front post stitches. You can work front posts in every stitch at regular intervals or in a pattern of several front posts and several regular stitches. Yarn over. Insert your crochet hook into the front of the previous row between the posts of the stitch before and the stitch which will be the front post stitch. Insert the hook between the posts from back to front between the stitch which will be the front post stitch and the next stitch. Yarn over. Pull the yarn even with the current row and complete a double stitch.
