Free Patterns Featuring the Double Crochet Post Stitches

Hi there my fellow yarn enthusiasts!

I’m back again with another stitch-centric FREE crochet pattern round-up. It’s another set of stitches like I did with the Foundation Stitches a couple weeks ago. Today we are featuring those two texture-licious double crochet variations: the front and back post double crochet stitches!

Just to recap, post stitches are used to create a variety of patterns and textures in crochet, like cables, ribbing, or more decorative raised patterns like the basket weave stitch. They are worked around the post of the stitch from an indicated previous row, as opposed to the normal method of working through the top ‘V’ of the stitch.

Need a refresher? No prob! I come armed with photo and video tutorials for both Front Post Double Crochet and Back Post Double Crochet!

Front Post Double Crochet

Alpine Dreams Beanie

The beautiful texture created in the body of this beanie is partially made with the front post double crochet! It’s an intermediate level pattern, but don’t let that scare you. Believe me when I say you will want some of this yummy texture for yourself! And if you like the look of this, stay tuned because I’m going to be releasing the Alpine Dreams Cowl soon!
