Crochet through front or back loops only (flo, blo)
Learn how to crochet through the front and back loops only (flo/blo). These are great techniques for creating ribbed and taller stitches in your amigurumi projects.
Still have questions?
FLO (front loop only) means inserting your hook under just the front loop of the stitch, while BLO (back loop only) means inserting under just the back loop. Both create a ribbed texture but on opposite sides of the work.
Use FLO or BLO when you want to create texture, ribbing, or a ridge in your work. It's commonly used for hat brims, cuffs, and decorative elements in amigurumi.
The unused loop creates a visible ridge on your work. This ridge can be decorative or functional, depending on your project design.
