BL/BLO
Crochetback loop or back loop only
Description
Work the stitch solely into the loop furthest away from you to create ridges, ribbing, or exposed front loops.
Detailed explanation
While standard crochet stitches are worked under both top loops, BL or BLO indicates inserting the hook only under the loop furthest from your body. This technique is essential for creating stretchy ribbing on cuffs and brims or for leaving the front loops exposed for textural details in amigurumi.
