Last Loop of Forward Pass

While you can simply continue in whatever pattern you have been working, many crocheters prefer to work the last loop of the forward pass either as a simple stitch or a knit stitch.

Working the last loop as a simple stitch

Insert you hook under the front vertical bar only of the last stitch, just as you would if you were to work a Tunisian simple stitch:

lastlp

lastlp3

Working the last loop as a knit stitch

Insert your hook through the stitch and under the horizontal thread as you would if you were to work a Tunisian knit stitch:

lastlp2

Note that the hook goes under the two front-most threads:

lastlp5

lastlp4

I don’t have a strong preference for one or the other and use both depending on the design. I normally specify which of them is to be used for best results.
