The omitted loops will make a line in the work. This is often done in patterns, as you crochet more and more you’ll notice it. Also, free free to experiment and try it out for yourself. There’s nothing like actually doing it and seeing it first hand

Because using front loops or back loops over a few rows will produce the same looking rows.

What happens if it is one row of front or back loops in a swatch of both loops? Say for a corner or bend?

Asprin, both sides will look the same. Try making a small swatch of each to see for yourself. Have fun crocheting!

This might be a silly question but how does crocheting in the front or back loops look from the other side?
Do they look like it would crocheting in the other loop?

Hi Shirley, you can change the colors whenever you’d like! You can change the colors after a couple rows, or even every row for very skinny strips. Feel free to experiment with it by making a small swatch with the colors you like to see how they come out.

Hi,Rachel!! Love your website! I’ve been using the back loop stitch to make scarves for my grandchildren but it all one color. I’m thinking of making a striped one. How would I go about doing that? When would I change the yarn? Would one color stripe be on the ridge side and the other stripe be the flat crochet of that particular side?As you see I’m having trouble visualizing it. Thanks! Happy Holidays !!

Hi Angela, it sounds like you’re making X’s with your stitches. So when you “dc in first skipped sc” you going to bring your hook in front of the double crochet that you just made to get back to the sc you skipped. Then make your double crochet into the sc as you normally would. I don’t think your pattern is referring to the front or back loops.
