How to crochet slip stitches (Bosnian crochet)

In this DROPS video we show three different ways to work Bosnian crochet aka crochet slips sts. Remember to crochet LOOSELY.

We start by crocheting a set number of ch and form a ring by working a sl st in 1st ch.
Then we crochet sl sts into the back of the ch sts on the first ch round, this creates a nice edge that doesn't roll.

After 1st round we continue working sl sts in the back loops of the sts (in green).
Then we show how to work sl sts in the front loops of the sts (in pink).
Finally we show how to work sl st through both loops (off white), when working through both loops it's not called Bosnian crochet.

When working sl st in back loops we create a horizontal stripes and when working in front loops we create a slanting texture, and when working through both loops there will be a vertical texture.

The Bosnian technique gives a dense and durable texture, which is a less elastic and since you work in the round, this technique is perfect for hats and mittens.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Zelená část je háčkovaná za zadní část řetízku, růžová za přední část řetízku a bílá za zadní i přední část řetízku. Je třeba se lépe dívat které oko z kruhu vytvořeního řetízkem slečna ve videu nabírá ;-)

Tack för dessa fantastiskt pedagogiska och tydliga videoklipp! Jag önskar dock hjälp med något jag saknar, jag försöker kroka ett par tofflor enligt tekniken som görs i grönt garn i videon, och behöver då byta håll på vissa ställen. Kan man kroka så att man får det gröna mönstret fast på motsatta sidor? Hoppas att jag gör mig förstådd, jag är nybörjare men väldigt ivrig att lära mig! Gränslöst tacksam för svar!

Vzorek se mi moc líbí. Část háčkovaná zelenou barvou je srozumitelná. Nepochopila jsem však vzorek háčkovaný fialovou a bílou barvou. Je možno více ukázat postup. Děkuji
