When working along the rows, it is important to work the stitches in the correct order. When instructed to work stitches under or over other stitches, and then work a st in the next st, the term next refers to the next st in the working row, not to the st next to the st just worked under or over previous stitches. stitch guide: Chain (ch) Single crochet (sc) Double crochet (dc) Treble crochet (tr) Front Post double crochet (FPdc) Front Post Treble (FPtr) Back Post double crochet (BPdc)
