Hi Friends! In this how to crochet post I will teach you about Front and Back Loops only (FLO) & (BLO).
Here are my other crochet how to stitches and techniques!
Follow along with the video or scroll down to see the written tutorial with step by step photos.
When holding your work, you’ll see from the top that the stitches look like a sideways “V”. The side closest to you is the front loop, and the one behind is the back loop.
Front Loops Only – (FLO)
When the pattern states to crochet “In FLO”, work the stitches in the front loops only.
After crocheting a few stitches, you’ll notice the back loops are visible since we aren’t working in them.
Back Loops Only – BLO
When the pattern states to crochet “In BLO”, insert hook into the center of the V, going under the back loop.
Again, after a few stitches made in the back loops, you’ll notice the front loops are visible.
And there you have it! How to Crochet in the Front and Back Loops Only (FLO or BLO). If you’d like to learn more about crocheting, here are my other crochet how to stitches and techniques!
