Are you looking to take your crochet skills up a notch with learning how to crochet in the back loop only (blo)? It is a great crochet technique for any crocheter to learn.
With blo, you can create ridges and lines of texture on a crochet fabric or garment that will give it an entirely different look than if you used both front and back loops.
Working exclusively with the back loops also results in nice lines of stitches that looks like knitted ribbing. It’s just this knitted look that makes working blo such an attractive option for crocheters!
In this blog post, I’ll be explaining what exactly BL crochet stitches is and going over all the materials needed to crochet in this way along with step-by-step instructions for each type of stitch: single crochet stitch, half double crochet stitch, and double treble crochet stitch.
