This was very helpful because you used the terminology front post (pushing the post to the front) and back post (pushing the post to the back). It's easier to remember what to do when your mind wanders off. Thank you!
I searched all the tutorials for a video on alternating the fpdc and bpdc and could not find one as thorough as yours. I was having a bit of challenge with the turn - you cleared that up for me. Thanks for clear, detailed instructions and for zooming in so close I'm able to see exactly where you're inserting the hook. Great tutor! Great video!
OK I have to comment. I am a pretty NEW crochet-er. About 6 months or so IN IT. And when I heard the words "FPDC into the 4th DC" I PANICKED. Like I FULL-ON was going to frog my row of 80 shells....and i kept with you, and I DID IT!!!! You are a GEM. And you had me keep going and I DID THE THING! Thank you Laura!
I found this video today (3.26.23) and looked to see when it was originally posted. Yikes...5 years ago! Color me happy. I am new to crochet and have been looking for an alternative to ribbed waistbands with back loop stitches...which I DO NOT like! This seems much easier...and much sturdier. And as you say, it really is pretty. Thanks very much!!
Thanls for this thorough video ! I am following someone else pattern with incomplete instructions on this stitches and you have cleared my doubts . Now I understand what to do on each row and visualize which is front post and which is back post and thanks to you I will finish my ribbing on the sweater !!!!
Thank you for such clear instructions! You demonstrated & emphasized pulling that Front Post to the front / Back Post to the back so that I can remember this stitch.
I just found this video n glad I did. I had made my daughter, some 40 years ago, a hat and scarf using this stitch. Unfortunetly I got away from crocheting and now that I'm retired I have gotten back into it but for the life of me I could not remember this stitch/pattern. It all came back to me with this video. THANK YOU! ❤
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! Your video saved me! I was having the hardest time with other videos but then i found you and I am HAPPY! I am a newbie so this is just AWESOME!!!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!
Great instructional video! It takes the mystery out of post stitches for me. I was never really sure where to place my hook and my projects showed that ! Now I have a much better handle on it . Thank you, Liz B
Thanks a lot for your support and guidance,👍👍👍👍u are an awesome teacher full of real qualities of expressing in an easy manner, love u 🥰🥰🥰God bless....💐🙏🙏🙏
I just found your channel and I can’t tell you how relieved I am to see someone make a chain exactly as I do. I’ve tried for a year to try the ‘conventional’ way of holding my yarn and chaining. It never worked! I’m a new subscriber and fan! Thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you so much for your clear, precise video. In all my years of crochet, I have never heard of a front post or back post stitch, so I’ve learned something. I need the stitch as I’m going to be doing my kitty a cat sweater. I only got confused because what you call a double crochet, we know it as a treble in the UK. Thanks again x
I needed to find out how to do these two stitches for a scarf I’m starting that didn’t explain it. Your video teaches how to do both perfectly. Thank you.
Thank you!! I am in the middle of making baby booties and the instructions say to make front and back posts. Couldn't figure out the back post and found your UA-cam video. You explained it perfect and I appreciate it so much.
Thank you for this...I was near the ending of my baby jacket and it called for Front and Back Post HDC..You truly explained it so well...now I can complete my Ribbing..lol
This isn't the way my mom taught me to do this, but it works!!!! Thanks for the easy instruction. I am going to use your pattern to make my hubby a sweater! :)
If been using you tube to learn new stitches for a few years now and this is the first time I've been so compelled to leave a comment. Your directions and explanation of the technique are extremely detailed yet easy to follow. Thank you, i will be subscribing to your channel and making sure to like as many of your videos as i see (my gut tells me that all of them will deserve it). I couldn't be more excited to know that you submit a new video weekly.
Thanks for sharing! This was the simplest step by step video that I've found and I was able to understand it completely without getting anxious. 🎉🙌🏼💖💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹💖
Thank you so much for this video. I am so happy to see that you hold your yarn the same way I do which is the way my Grandma taught me when I was a young child.
It was really strange finding this video yesterday as I already know this stitch. It was a good couple of years ago when I was first learning to crochet and at the time I was learning to do the Front and Back Post Double Crochet and I did this stitch as an experiment wondering how it would turn out and it turned out beautifully. I did not know the name of this stitch at the time nor did I know whether it existed or not. So I now know the name of this stitch as well as the fact that it did indeed already exist. I had my own name for this stitch back then and now which I will not post here but it is amazing to know that I did this stitch before knowing that it existed.
You are a crochet oracle June! I am glad you found the name now though, because it will make it easier for you to read a written crochet pattern with this stitch listed!! :) thanks for watching!
Such a great video! Clear camera angles and your description was concise and informative.Thank you for making this tutorial, I am going to start crocheting a set of dish cloths with your help. Also loved the idea to use it as a cuff.
Oh wow, thank you so much for the clear instruction video on how to crochet this stitch! I’m still learning how to crochet different stitches and I’m so grateful for videos like yours to help. Thank you again and happy holidays.
Thank you for this tutorial! It took me a little to get started and had to undo a little but I got it! I'm making a baby blanket. I love this pattern! Great video quality and your instructions are easy to understand. I'm subscribing! Thanks again.
I just found your video, and I was happy to see it. My Mom taught me that stitch over sixty years ago, and I still use it in many blankets, Also, congrats on your engagement. I noticed when you straightened out your beautiful ring at the beginning of your vid.
Love this stich. Done a scarf before with i. But I want to make the Shawl with it. So easy. I Love how it comes out. 😊💖 Actually thi is the same stitch as my Cardigan. 😊
Thanks so much!!your explanation is very high..it's very easy to understand ..I like your teaching..sopl keep it up Dear ..I would like to learn howto crochet crocadile stich ..from you ..pl help me to learn that pattern also..♥️♥️😀
Hey Claire , thanks for watching, and thank you for the comment! I’m glad you liked the tutorial, and I hope you do try. This one changed the game for beginners in garment making crochet. It takes a beginner crochet sweater from cool to super super 😎 cool 😎 best of luck , xoxo Laura
I am working on them! More new stuff will be out soon. I took a little break over the end of the summer to launch a business with my partner at the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) in Toronto, snd I have been having a hard time editing! That being said, I have 6 videos already filmed that just need to be edited. You have motivated me. I will edit them!
Thanks so much for your video on Front and back post rib stitching. Do you have a video that shows how to add FPDC & BPDC ribbing on to a garment after the garment is made?
Is this technique called anything besides front post/ back post dc? I have used this technique for an entire throw blanket except I put one row of dc inbetween each alternating fpdc/bpdc....it gives so much texure and I love the look!
This is very helpful thank you. I am having a hard time with the back post double crochet. Do you have a slo motion video for that stitch? I struggle with where to pull it through. it’s hard to see on the video. The front post dc is easier to understand.
Thank you Therese. While I don't have a slo-motion video per se, you can adjust the speed of any video by clicking the "settings" icon of a video then going into the "Playback speed" options to adjust (to say 0.5x or 0.25x) as needed. Hope it helps. Thank you, Laura
Hey! Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me a lot. However, I’d like to ask if you can please link the yarn you used? I can’t find it in the description. Thank you!
so what if you want to do the ribs at a greater distance. For instance at each 3rd stich? And how about with a triple stich? Could you explain that please
Hi Laura. I am trying to make a beautiful blanket from a pattern I found in a book. I know how to do the FPdc and BPdc, but reading this pattern is a challenge. Would you like to give it a try? I sure could use the help. Love your videos!

THANK YOU!!!! This is the first video I have found that showed me how to start this stitch!!!
Wow this really tied these stitches together for me!! So clear and concise with your instructions.
Thank you sooooo very much. I was intimidated to try these stitches until you made it doable for me.
Thanls for this thorough video ! I am following someone else pattern with incomplete instructions on this stitches and you have cleared my doubts .

You do a great job of clearly explaining how to do this ribbing.... Thank you
You really helped me to understand how to make these stiches.
Brilliant stitch, thank you for telling us even stitches, and how to cope with the last stitch.. Thank you..
Thank you Teresa! I am glad the video worked for you :)

Thank you I watched a video and the girl wrapped the wool round 3 times before going into front post !!!!!!!! 😮

Can you do this stitch vertically? As you would with regular ribbing
