How to Crochet: in the Back Loops Only (BLO) [Video Tutorial]


This video shows you how to crochet in the back loops only (BLO).  I'm using the half double crochet (hdc) stitch in the video tutorial but you can crochet in the BLO with any stitch you'd like!  It's commonly done in single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc).

Please take a look at the video tutorial below to learn how to do this technique!  I break down the steps and walk through it with a few repetitions, so that it's hopefully easy to understand and master. 


Hope this video is helpful to you!

If you'd like to try out this technique on a quick, easy, and lovely scarf pattern, please try my FREE Cotton Candy Cowl pattern:
