  • Anchored blsc are used to create a non-stretchy base and are explained in the pattern. Stitches MUST BE slightly LOOSE or this stitch will be incredibly difficult. If you are a tight stitcher, this stitch will take a bit to get used to to get the tension right. The stitch can be subbed out with regular blsc(s) if it proves too difficult to loosen up your tension, but the bottom will be more stretched out.
