Special Stitches Explained
Front Loop Only (FLO) & Back Loop Only (BLO)
-
FLO (Front Loop Only): Insert your hook into only the front loop of the stitch (the loop closest to you) and perform the stitch as usual. This creates the flared bottom edge of the ghost body.
-
BLO (Back Loop Only): Insert your hook into only the back loop of the stitch (the loop farthest from you) to continue working down the inside of the body for the closing rounds.
