    Rnd 24: Double crochet around front post in 1st st,
    around back post in 2nd st (the sts of the previous
    row are your “posts”. Yarn over hook, go down on
    one side of the “post” and up the other and continue
    the dc. On next st come up from the back of post and
    Go down the other side, finish dc) Repeat around to
    form ribbing (all rows 62 sts each) Fasten off, weave
    in the end.

    You know what it is? It is bphc then fpdc. Back post double crochet, then front post double crochet. I love how it looks!! I could not have gotten it done without Christas help.

    You do both in the same stitch? What are you making? Can I see the pattern?

    Please attach a note to the ‘inside’ of each cap and sign it with your first name and the city & state you are from, to make the caps more personalized. You might want to attach your email address, if the soldier wants to sent you a note. Use yarn to attach note inside the caps & tie in a bow.

    [COLOR=purple]This is their website. They have a pattern for crochet and also for knitting.

    Hey Faye-you've never done ribbing with Front and back post dc? I thought that was the way it was done in crocheting!!! Glad you got your answer Landon!
