Post Stitches – Back Post Double Crochet Stitch

Crochet Post Stitches: How to make the Back Post Double Crochet Stitch - A step-by-step crochet photo tutorial by Shibaguyz Designz

What is it?

Last week, we started our discussion about post stitches with a brief overview of what a post stitch is. You can find that post here:
Technique Tuesday - Post Stitches: How to make the Front Post Double Crochet stitch.

Let's do a quick review…

Post stitches are just like any other crochet stitches only the stitches are worked around the "post" of a crochet stitch rather than through the loops of the "head" of a crochet stitch.

Post Stitches – Front Post Double Crochet Stitch

What is it?

Let's talk briefly about what a Post Stitch is…

Post stitches are just like any other crochet stitches only the stitches are worked around the "post" of a crochet stitch rather than through the loops of the "head" of a crochet stitch.

For your wonder and amazement, here's a hand dandy illustration of the parts of a crochet stitch… in this case, a double crochet stitch. You can see the POST of the stitch and the HEAD of the stitch.

With non-post crochet stitches, we insert our hook into the loops of the head of a crochet stitch.

Note the hook going into the head of the stitch in this photo.

How To Add New Yarn In The MIddle Of A Row Of Crochet Stitches

Technique Tuesday Crochet and Knitting Tutorials by Shibaguyz Designz


Technique
Adding New Yarn In the Middle Of A Row


What is it?

There you are… happily hooking along on your crochet project and, suddenly, the feeder yarn that was so perfectly tensioned across your fingers and hook goes slack. NO!! You've been so engrossed in binge watching the X-Files that you didn't notice you were at the end of your skein of yarn. Whatever will you do now?? WHYYYYYY?!?!?

Okay… it's probably not all that dramatic but, if you've ever felt the end of a ball of yarn slip through your tensioning fingers while you weren't quite paying attention, if certainly feels like the onset of the wombat apocalypse.

Now, my personal preference is to always change to a new working yarn at the ends of rows. Unfortunately, when I am working with a limited supply or with a particularly pricey yarn, that isn't an option.
