Alright, crochet fans! Let's talk about the back post single crochet, or bpsc for short. This cool stitch is your ticket to adding some serious texture to your projects.
So, what's the deal? Instead of working into the top of the stitch, you're going to wrap your hook around the back of the post (that's the vertical part) of the stitch below. It's like giving your crochet a little back scratch!
Why bother? Well, if you've ever wanted to add ribbing to a sweater, create a cool textured pattern in a blanket, or just make your crochet pop, bpsc is your go-to move.
Don't sweat it if it sounds tricky. We've got step-by-step instructions and clear images coming up, plus a video tutorial for our visual learners. You'll be a texture master in no time!

Materials Needed
- Yarn: The recommended is 5 mm yarn. The reason why we chose this thick yarn is to make teaching easier. For beginners practicing, thicker yarn is also recommended.
- Hook: To match 5 mm yarn, a 6 mm hook is the best pairing.
Preparation
Begin by creating a foundation chain of desired length. Work a row of regular single crochet stitches across the chain.

Step 1. Insert your hook from back to front around the post of the first single crochet from the previous row.
Step 2. The hook is then passed from the inside out.
Step 3. Yarn over and pull up a loop.
