Post double stitch ribbing
Front post stitches are raised crochet stitches on the surface of the fabric facing you.
You can create a front-post double-crochet (abbreviated FP dc) stitch with these steps
and some practice. Back post stitches appear to recede on the side of the crocheted
fabric that’s facing you. You can create a back-post double-crochet (abbreviated BP dc)
stitch with these steps and some practice.
Front post double crochet stitch:
1. Chain (ch) 2 for your first double crochet.
2. Yarn over (yo) and insert your hook from front to back between the posts of the
first and second double crochet of the row below, and then from back to front
again between the posts of the second and third stitches.
3. Yarn over and draw the yarn around the post of the stitch.
Yarn over and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook, twice.
