CAL WEEK 15 Front and Back Loop Double Crochet

WEEK 15  ROWS 89-96

*******As  rows 90-95 are all worked in Double Crochet (US SC) they can get quite tight like the LINEN stitch so either concentrate on not doing it too tight or go up half a hook size. *********












Row 89 (Navy blue)

Ch 3 , 1 treble in every stitch across

Row 90 ( Grey)

Ch1 (doesn't count as a dc) then do a dc in the FRONT LOOP ONLY of every stitch across.
Here's a link to my You Tube Tutorial in case you'd like to see it being done!

So, here we go...put your hook under the FRONT LOOP of the stitch



 Yo and pull through so there are  2 loops on the hook and don't worry that it looks a bit loose at this stage..



Then YO and pull through 2 loops = 1 DC FLO worked. Continue to end of row.


Row 91 ( Lilac)

Ch1 (doesn't count as 1), then do 1dc BLO in every stitch across. Here's my YOUTUBE tutorial...

So, put your hook under the BACK LOOP of the next stitch,




Pull a loop through then YO and pull through both loops ...1DC BLO worked.

Continue to end of row



Row 92 ( Pink)

Repeat Row 90



Row 93 ( Grey)

Repeat Row 91



Row 94 (lilac)

Repeat Row 90




Row 95 ( pink)

Repeat Row 91

Showing final row of trebles too

Row 96 (navy blue)

Repeat Row 89

This is how it looks from the other side - more textured and ribbed

I am back in love with my CAL after a few weeks of doubt so decided to take a few close up photos of it so far....would love to hear how yours are getting on...

  1. My afghan is kinked/zigzagged here where this pattern is. Did I do something wrong or is that normal?

    1. If you did it too tight it might kink and also check you've put the right amount of stitches in. It might kink a bit as it's a tight combo bit it will stretch out with the next row and when blocked and edged should be fine!
