BLsc

Crafting

back loop single crochet

Description

A single crochet stitch worked exclusively into the back loop of the previous stitch to create texture or ribbing.

Detailed explanation

The BLsc modifies the standard single crochet by changing the point of hook insertion to only the loop furthest from the crafter. This technique leaves the front loop visible, forming a horizontal ridge across the fabric. It is commonly used to create stretchy ribbing for hat brims and cuffs, or to add definition to amigurumi shapes.
