BLO
Crochetback loop only
Description
A crochet technique where stitches are worked exclusively into the loop furthest from you, commonly used to create ribbing and texture.
Detailed explanation
Working in the back loop only (BLO) leaves the front loop unworked, forming a visible horizontal ridge across the fabric. This technique is key for creating stretchy ribbing, such as for hat brims or cuffs, and adds flexibility and drape compared to working through both loops.
