How to make Sk1-FPdc
INSTRUCTIONS
How to read the abbreviation “Sk1-FPdc”:
- Sk = skip → this means you skip a stitch in the working row.
- 1 = the number of stitches you skip. In this case, 1 stitch skip.
- FPdc = the stitch you are going to make. Here, it is a Front Post double crochet.
So, Sk1-FPdc means: Skip 1 stitch and work a Front Post double crochet around the post of that stitch (usually two rows below).
What does “second row below” mean?
When you see “work around the post of the stitch located two rows below,” it means that instead of inserting your hook into the working row, you reach down two rows.
Step-by-step instructions
Sk1-FPdc – skip 1 stitch front post double crochet: skip 1 stitch in the working row; yo, insert your hook from front to back to front around the post of the stitch 2 row below and pull up a loop; yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw through the remaining 2 loops on the hook in front of the skipped stitch. Always skip the stitch behind every Sk1-FPdc.
Sk1-FPdc is essentially a standard Front Post double crochet, but worked into a specific location. Depending on the pattern, it may be worked around the post of a sc, FPdc, FPtr, or another special stitch two rows below. In charts, it is shown using the standard FPdc symbol.
