Hello there, my name is Ana.

Welcome to Little crochet farm!

You are here today to learn how to back loop slip stitch in crochet toys. The US terminology for this stitch is BLSL or, it can also be found like BLOSL, meaning the back loop only slip stitch.

BLSL means that you will work a slip stitch taking only the back loop of the stitch!
