In my last video, I touched on working into the side edge to work the first round of the border on my afghan. For the remaining rounds, I've decided on [US] single crochet worked into the back loop only. It creates a beautiful ribbed fabric with a ridge, and I just love it! And it's easy to work too!
💙To single crochet into the back loop only (or SC into the BLO): rather than inserting into the stitch to pick up both loops of the V shape, insert your hook into the top center of the stitch. Push your hook towards the back, or wrong side of the fabric, picking up just the back loop of the stitch on your hook. Finish the stitch as normal (ie yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops).
