This crochet pattern is super quick to stitch up, and

 because it is made from chunky yarn, it is also, super warm.
And Don't Forget, Super Cute to wear.

Wear it like a slouchy hat, or Roll up the hat brim for 

a warm snow hat.

Make it With a Faux Fur Pom Pom or
A Fluffy Yarn Pom Pom
Both styles are adorable and

perfect for hitting the slops or playing in the snow.

The Faux Fur Pom pom adds a touch of fun.

Live Video - Winners and Loops of a Stitch | Posh Pooch Designs

Live With Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

Happy Valentines Day!

This weeks Live Video,

we are talking about the loops

 of a Stitch.

Front loop, Back look, Top loops.

Are you  feeling a little "Loopy".

See The Video on my Youtube Crochet
 Channel at This LINK

Let's Take a Look:The Loop closes to you is the front loop, the loop away from
 you is the back loop.

When you are stitching into the top of the Stitch:
Stitching through the Top Loops, or Stitching through Both Loops.

You put your hook through both the top loops at the top of the stitch, to make your stitch.

The Pattern will tell you Front loop (FLO) or Back loop (BLO),  But if the pattern doesn't indicate front or back, then you need to to stitch in the top loops, going through both of the loops.
There will be times when a designer will have you place the hook or stitch in different location.
