Crochet

front post double crochet

Description

A textured crochet stitch worked around the vertical post of the previous row’s stitch rather than the top loops, creating a raised effect on the front of the fabric.

Detailed explanation

This technique is frequently used to create ribbing, cables, and waffle textures by pushing the stitch forward relative to the fabric plane. Instead of inserting the hook into the top loops of a stitch, the stitch is worked around the vertical body (post) from the front side to add structural dimension.
