Double crochet between the vertical post and single-strand yarn
The single-strand yarn rests to the right of the vertical post. Insert your crochet hook between them. The single-strand yarn comes from increasing in the previous round. The entire work with this crochet stitch is available in my Karen crochet beret hat pattern. Single crochet one between and through them. This gives it stability.

How Do You Double Crochet Around a Front Post?
Watch and download this blog post. Watch and repin the video. What is the prettiest stitch? One of them is a shell stitch(or fan stitch), crochet motif. Shell stitches take the shape of arcs and semicircles. A shell stitch is used as a border around other patterns.
For example, an afghan or blanket. Staggered rows or rounds create a distinctive fabric pattern. Sweaters and hats are good examples. These steps worked through both front and back loops lying horizontally. An example is the front and back loops of every worked stitch.
My version is a cross of a shell Stitch, fan, and scallop stitch. They have similarities in shape. The double crochet stitches lie flat and rest horizontally. My double crochet stitches rest vertically around the post. Stitches have 3-D dimensions and pop.
