FLO

Standard crochet stitches involve inserting the hook under both strands of the ‘V’ on top of a stitch. FLO requires working only into the strand closest to you, leaving the back loop unworked. This technique creates a visible horizontal ridge on the fabric and results in a stretchier drape. In amigurumi and complex patterns, the unworked back loops often serve as anchors for attaching parts or adding surface details later.
