Special Stitches

FPSC (Front Post Single Crochet)

Insert hook from the right side of the fabric into the gap to the hook-side of the next stitch to be worked. Insert hook from back to front around the post into the far-side gap. Yarn over and draw loop through both gaps. Yarn over and draw through remaining 2 loops on hook.

BPSC (Back Post Single Crochet)

Insert hook from the wrong side of the fabric into the gap to the hook-side of the next stitch to be worked. Insert hook from front to back around the post into the far-side gap. Yarn over and draw loop through both gaps. Yarn over and draw through remaining 2 loops on hook.

FPDC (Front Post Double Crochet)

Yarn over and insert your hook from front to back between the posts of the first and second stitch of the row/round below, and then from back to front again between the posts of the second and third stitches. The hook should now be positioned horizontally behind the stitch that you’re working around. Yarn over and draw the yarn around the post of the stitch. You now have 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook, twice. One front post double crochet (FPDC) is complete.

Popcorn

Work 5 double crochet (dc) stitches in the same stitch. Drop the loop from your hook. Insert your hook from front to back under the top 2 loops of the first double crochet of the group. Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch. Chain 1 to lock your popcorn stitch.
