 Hi everyone! Welcome to Start of School Crochet. My name is Tasha and I do stitch tutorials and free crochet patterns on YouTube and on my blog. Today's tutorial is a part of my series on how to do a little bit more intermediate stitches and front post stitches for the cable headband called the Estrella cable headband and cables are great to learn. Front post stitches are great to learn. You can carry them into any kind of project and you can use them to create all different kinds of things for your projects. So in my previous video tutorials I taught you how to do the front post double crochet, front post treble crochet and today's tutorial is going to be about the front post double treble crochet. A double treble crochet is one up from a treble in a front post double crochet we yarn over once in a front post treble crochet we yarn over two times. In a front post double treble you yarn over three times before you even start your stitch. So after you yarn over three times we're going to work around the post of the next stitch just like we did in our previous tutorials. So you insert your hook from right to left around the post of your stitch that's two rows down. This is our current working row. This is the row we just worked which is single crochets and then the row below that is the one where our front post stitch from before is. So we're going to work around that front post, yarn over and pull up the loop. You'll have five loops on your hook so you yarn over and pull through two, yarn over pull through two, yarn over pull through two, yarn over pull through two. You yarn over and pull through two until you can have one loop left on your hook. Let's do that again. So we're going to yarn over three times, insert our hook around the post from two rows down, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two, yarn over pull through two, yarn over pull through two, yarn over and pull through two. So you're yarning over and pulling through two a total of four times. Yarn over three times, insert your hook around the post, yarn over and pull up a loop, You're going to over pull through two, one time, two times, three times, four times. And these create very tall stitches. These front post double trebles work great when you're doing crossover cable stitches. And I wanted to show you here how to anchor these stitches onto the row that's below your other row because so you don't get this ridge that normally happens when you working front post stitches. So I demonstrated this in the other two videos and I'm going to demonstrate it here as well even though I know it's going to cause a little bit of a bulge. But this is just for demonstration's sake so I'm hoping that that's okay with you. So you're going to yarn over three times one two three, insert your hook around the post stitch, yarn over pull up and we're going to yarn over and pull through all the loops until we have just two loops on our hook. Then we're going to go back and we're going to insert our hook through that stitch that we're skipping and we're going to do our last pull through and anchor that stitch to the previous row so that it doesn't create a ridge behind it. So let's do that again. Yarn over three times. We're going to go around the post, yarn over pull up work through two stitches each time until we get to the very last and we'll have two stitches and then we're going to work through and slip stitch through and just pull through the rest of them just like before. And that will anchor your stitches so you don't get that ridge that you normally get when you do front post stitches like that. We're going to slip stitch straight through. So there we have our four stitches and the backside. There is no ridge which is really nice. So when you work the Australia headband you can do that. It doesn't work as well with crossover stitches but with straight up and down stitches it works great. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Please leave any comments below the Australia headband. Crochet pattern is free on the blog and I will leave a link for that down below as well and for all the other front post stitches and I have a lot of them. There is a front post double crochet, front post treble, front post double treble and I also have stitch tutorials on how to do decreased stitches when you're working front post stitches. Thanks guys. Happy crocheting!
