| Front and Back Posts Once you understand the posts, you'll never have to look at this page again. Doesn't that sound great? Ok. So. Here goes. Do a row of triple crochet. (No, it doesn't matter how many in a row). Turn and do half a row of triple crochet. (This is so we can see what we are doing.) Look at the next loops you are about to stick your needle through.Part of that stitch is the long part. The next section is attached to the row before it. Can you see the three parts? The second part, under the loops, is the post. See the space between the posts? You are going to use that space. Yo twice. Put your needle in the space to the right of the post from the backside. (Your needle should be sorta' pointing towards you now.) The needle goes around the post and comes out through the left side (space) .(The needle should be pointing away from you now.) (I am so excited!! You're working with posts. I am so proud of you for getting this far.) Yo again, and draw through two loops. Left the needle come off the post as you are doing this. Finish off the stitch, Let me recap a little. The needle goes from the backside into the space of the right, around the FRONT, and through the space to the left of the post. then do like you would if it was a loop and finsh of the stitch. If you are left handed, switch the word : right for left, and left for right. The back post is done in a similar fashion. But, it goes in through the front, around the BACK of the post, and back out the side with the needle facing you. Wooooh. I hope I explained it clearly enough for you. This may get kinda hard. Email if you don't understand. I need brain exercise. |
