Special Stitches & Techniques

Puff Stitches

Working into the 3rd Loop of Half Double Crochet.

Alternative Half Double Crochet 3 Together:

Yo, [insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop] twice, yo, insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop.

This is just like a normal half double crochet 3-together, except that it skips the 2nd yarn over to reduce bulk.

Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc):

Yo, insert hook from back to front and out to back again around the post of the indicated st, yo and pull up a loop, [yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice.

Back Post Treble Crochet (bptr):

Yo twice, insert hook from back to front and out to back again around the post of the indicated st, yo and pull up a loop, [yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] 3 times.

Front Post Double Treble Crochet (fpdtr):

Yo 3 times, insert hook from front to back and out to front again around the post of the indicated st, yo and pull up a loop (5 loops on hook), [yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] 4 times.

Puff Stitch (puff):

[Yo, insert hook in indicated st or sp, yo and pull a loop up to height of current row] 4 times (9 loops on hook), yo and pull through all 9 loops on hook.

Third Loop and Front Loop (tl-fl):

This is worked on WS, into half double crochets. When working in rows and turning, the third loop is in front of and below the front loop. When instructed to work in tl-fl, insert hook into third loop and front loop together, leaving the back loop exposed on RS of work.

See this 3rd Loop Tutorial for a closer look at finding the third loops.
