ca To work a back post double crochet: workingin back of fabric, yarn over and insert the hookfrom right to left around the post of the stitchbelow. Yarn over and complete the double crochet as you normally would.

b. To work a front post double crochet: workingin front of fabric, yarn over and insert the hookfrom right to left around the post of the stitchbelow. Yarn over and complete the double crochet as you normally would.

c The basketweave effect is achieved by alternating front post and back post stitches atregular intervals. Here, a front post stitch isbeing worked after four rows of back poststitches, which will create the pattern change.
