The back loop only single crochet stitch is popular in making borders, hats and cuffs.
It’s a nice stretchy stitch that also adds some texture. It can be used as the only stitch in an entire blanket or sweater. Because of its stretch, the back loop only single crochet is often used as the border. I especially love the look of this border on my sweaters. I’ve used this to make a border on many of my baby blankets. The border gives everything you use it on a nice, finished look.
See a single crochet back loop only border here and another with rounded edges here. Both look great!
