Backpost Double Crochet Stitch

Learn how to work the backpost double crochet stitch, usually abbreviated as BPDC, that's perfect for adding some texture to your work. As the video shows, instead of inserting your hook under both the top strands of yarn when making a double crochet stitch, you only insert it around the vertical post of the stitch, from the back of your work. This places the stitch a little behind your work instead of just on top.
