- Front Loop and Back Loop:
The Front Loop is the loop that facing you whether you are looking at the front (right side) or at the back (wrong side) of the stitch.
You can find more about Back Loop and Front Loop in the previous lesson. - Post:
The post of the stitch is made up of two vertical bars. “Post stitches” are worked around both vertical bars.
- Back Bar:
When you look at the back side of the stitch, you can see the Back Bar. It is a small horizontal bar sits under the Front loop.

Lesson 17: The parts of a Single Crochet stitch
In the above diagram you can see the following:
Lesson 16: Loops in Crochet
Generally a crochet stitch is made by slipping the hook under the top
two loops of a stitch, but some patterns will say to insert the hook
through the back or front loop only. This creates a ridge or horizontal
bar across the row.
Lesson 15: Reverse Single Crochet (rev sc)
Reverse single crochet (it also called crab stitch
or rolled stitch) is a decorative stitch used as a
border stitch. It creates a rounded row of stitches.
Lesson 14: Weave In Loose Ends
After you've fastened off, it's important to weave in the loose
ends so that they are secure and will not work free. Two methods of weaving in
ends are shown below.
Lesson 13: Fasten Off
Work your last crochet stitch until you have two loops
remaining. Cut the yarn, leaving at least a 4 inch tail. Draw the yarn through
the last two loops. Tighten gently to prevent unraveling.
Lesson 12: Join to Form a Ring using Slip Stitch (sl st)
A slip stitch is used to join the first and last chains in a
foundation chain to form a ring. This is the first step in making many motifs,
including the ever popular granny square. Insert the hook into the first chain,
under both the top part of the chain in the front and the back loop.

I crocheted this poncho for my daughter using yellow and orange yarn to keep her warm in fall season.
Lesson 11: Turning Chains
When crocheting in rows, you need to chain a certain number of
stitches before starting each new row. These chain stitches are called turning
chains. They are necessary to keep the edges of your work even.
Each type of stitch has a standard number of turning chains that are equal in height to the height of the stitch.
Each type of stitch has a standard number of turning chains that are equal in height to the height of the stitch.
Lesson 10: Triple Crochet (tr)
Triple crochet, like single and double crochet, builds on a
foundation chain as a base. However triple crochet has extra height because
extra loops are worked off the hook.
Foundation Chain and First Row
For a practice swatch of 12 stitches, make a foundation chain of 15 stitches. Holding the foundation chain with the front facing you, yarn over twice and put the hook into the fifth chain from the hook.
