Proper Post Stitch Placement – Working in Rows & Rounds

February 27, 2017 By Jennifer Pionk Leave a Comment

When working a project in the round or in a row, have you ever found yourself asking, “Where do I work the next post stitch?” If so, then then keep on reading!

One of the most common questions I receive about working post stitches is: “How do I know that I’m working the next post stitch around the correct stitch?”. So, I decided to put together a video tutorial for proper post stitch placement in rounds and in rows.

Let’s begin with a few stitch abbreviations and the written instructions!

Stitch Abbreviations

  • ch(s): chain(s)
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • fpdc: front post double crochet (click to view tutorial)
  • yo: yarn over
  • st(s): stitch(es)
