I love using front post stitches! They create such a cool effect. Sometimes though, the pattern you’re using may cause the front post sittiches to dip in a bit along the edge. I’m going to show you 4 ways to overcome the dip and have nice straight edges!
Front Post Stitches – what to do about that dip?
I’m going to use an example from my new pattern Killarney Cross. It’s a relatively simple pattern with the main feature being the cross shape on each square. That cross is made by the use of front post stitches.
Here’s what it can look like if you just do normal front post stitches without doing anything. It might not happen for you, it will depend on your crochet style. This will tend to happen more if you are a tight crocheter like me. I did exaggerate it a bit here for demonstration purposes. You can see what I mean about the dip I am sure. Any of the four fixes below will help you go from dipped to straight edges.
