 If you love the texture of post stitches but are not a fan of the gaps they leave on the back of your project, this crochet technique can help you solve that issue! I use this technique in many of my crochet patterns that use post stitches. It's actually quite simple once you learn how to do it and you may find yourself using it in other patterns too. Whether you're working a FPdcScTog or FPtrHdcTog or any other combination, the technique remains the same. If the long abbreviation gets confusing, I've created a video tutorial to walk you through the concept. One thing to keep in mind...always follow the written instructions in the specific pattern you are working as the stitch placement may shift slightly based on the angle we want the post stitch but I have full confidence in you to do it right! If you would like to try working this stitch in a real crochet project, go ahead and give the Boho Diamond Textured Throw pattern a try!
