There are some subtle differences in the way each of\ncrochets that can create drastic overall differences. One such thing is where\nexactly you are working your stitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have all been taught that if a pattern does not specify\nthat the stitch is worked under the top 2 loops of the stitch below. While this\nis correct, there are times you might want to move you hook down just a bit and\ninsert it under the back bar and the top 2 loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First let me explain a bit about stitch construction. The\nlast loop of your hook is always the top loop of the stitch, and just by this\nsimple nature it means that the top loop is not exactly centered directly over\nthe all the yarn over and pull through loops below in the post of the stitch.\nSometimes this shift is very minimal and not really recognized at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So essentially crochet stitches are stacked just slightly to\none side of the stitches below, when you turn our work and work back they stack\nto the other side, resulting in an overall straight piece of fabric. However\nthis is same reason why when working in a round that your seam starts drifting\nto one side, because you are not turning the work, the stick up of the stitches\nstay to the same side of the stitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This \u201cStack\u201d can sometimes be recognized in simple fabric\nlike a double crochet, chain 1, pattern, as is worked in Filet crochet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a little trick to help this stack become less\nobvious, that is by working through the not only the top to loops, but\nincluding the back bar of the stitch. If working in the round, this means you\nwould need to bring your hook down a little lower in the post of the stitch and\nthen insert it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Working through this back bar of the stitch, or sometimes\ncalled \u201cthird loop\u201d, is the loop in the back of the post that is directly below\nthe top loops, is shifted to the opposite of the post then the bigger opening\ncreated only the 2 loops. This slight shift of position of the loop helps to\nkeep the stick more centered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Granted the difference is subtle for most people, it might\nbe exactly what you need to take you stitching to a new level. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are some subtle differences in the way each of crochets that can create drastic overall differences.
