Front/Back Post Double Crochet

Believe it or not, Crochetting does allow you to work with stitches that appear similar to those used in knitting. By usuing the Front/Back Post Double Crochets, you can achieve vertical and horizontal lines in your work.

Front Post Double Crochet:

Just like it's name this thing is almost 100% like the Double Crochet. Yarn over, but instead of inserting the hook in the top of the the stitch, insert it around the post of the T shape the stitch has. Go inbetween the stitch you were just working on and the next one, inserting it front to back, then bending the piece so that you can bring the hook back out the front of the other side of the stitch. If you do it right your hook will be parallel with the piece, with one post hooked in front of it. Now Yarn Over, and draw hook back through the two spaces, so you have 3 loops on hook. Yarn Over, and draw through 2. Yarn over, and draw through last 2.

Back Post Double Crocohet:

The Back Post is just the oppisite of the Front post. Instead of weaving the hook through the front and around the back, work it through the back and around the front.
