Back and Front Loop Crochet Stitch

back and front loop crochet stitch pattern

Such a fun texture to this easy crochet stitch. The back and front loop crochet stitch is made from single crochet stitches. You alternate making the stitches in the front and back loops of the previous row's stitches just as the name suggests. If you are looking for a nice tight weave, this is a great stitch to use.

Materials: Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
rep = repeat
sc = single crochet
st = stitch

Multiple of 2 sts. (add 1 for base chain)

1st row: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc into next and each ch to end, turn
