FL/FLO
Crochetfront loop or front loop only
Description
Work stitches exclusively into the loop closest to you, leaving the back loop unworked.
Detailed explanation
While standard crochet stitches are worked under both loops of the ‘V’ at the top of a stitch, FL or FLO indicates inserting the hook only under the strand nearest to you. This technique creates a horizontal ridge on the fabric and often produces a thinner, stretchier texture compared to standard stitching. It is frequently used for ribbing effects or to reserve back loops for joining parts.
