About Best Crochet Life Photo Tutorials
Since 2021, I’ve been including photo tutorials in the crochet patterns I sell on Etsy and Ravelry. The feedback is consistently positive. You don’t need to Google if you don’t know a specialty stitch when you’re making one of my designs. You can just get straight to hooking!
Great patterns, easy to follow, with clear explanatory photos. I’ve never done half of these stitches before but the instructions are very clear. I’m making a lovely blanket from them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What is a Back Post Stitch?
In crochet, a back post stitch is a technique where the stitch is worked around the post of the stitch from the previous row instead of into the top loops. The hook is inserted from back to front and then from front to back around the post of the designated stitch, and the stitch in progress is then completed as usual.
Why Use Back Post Stitches?
Using back post crochet stitches adds texture and structure to your projects, creating a raised effect that enhances visual interest. It also allows for unique patterns and designs, making it a versatile technique for various crocheted items.
