Stitches and Abbreviations

- blo: back loops only
- sc2tog: single crochet 2 together (decrease)
- flo: front loops only
- dc: double crochet
- sk: skip
Special Stitches
- Blo (back loops only): This stitch is worked by inserting the crochet hook only through the back loop of the stitch, leaving the front loop unworked. Working in the back loops creates a ribbed or textured effect and adds structure to the project.
- Sc2tog (single crochet two together): This is a decrease stitch used to reduce the number of stitches. It involves inserting the hook through the first stitch, yarn over, pulling up a loop, then inserting the hook through the next stitch, yarn over, and pulling up a loop. Finally, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook. Sc2tog creates a decrease and helps shape the project, making it narrower or more tapered.
- Flo (front loops only): This stitch is worked by inserting the crochet hook only through the front loop of the stitch, leaving the back loop unworked. Working in the front loops creates a different texture and can be used to create decorative edges or add dimension to the project.
