USAGE

Picture of the author
The blo abbreviation means to start the stitch using only the back loop of the base stitch. This results in the front loop making a decorative line at the bottom of the stitch.

STEPS

1
Insert the hook under only the back loop of the base stitch instead of under both loops.
2
Finish the specified stitch as you normally would. Shown here with a single crochet stitch.
