Working Under One Loop

Working Under One Loop

Working under one loop produces a ribbed effect and a more open pattern then is achieved with the usual technique (that is, inserting the hook under two loops).

You can check out my video tutorial to see how to do this technique.



To work under the back loop only, insert hook front to back through the back loop with a downward motion, catch the yarn, draw up a loop and complete the stitch.

To work under the front loop only, insert hook front to back through the front loop with an upward motion, catch the yarn, draw up a loop and complete the stitch.
