I know this is really basic stuff here but honestly – it took me a long time to figure out that the front loop is based on your position to the crochet work, not to the RS (right side) or WS (wrong side) of the work itself.
So for anyone else wondering…the front loop is the loop closest to you, regardless of whether you are working the RS or WS of the project.

![Boo! Make this cute little pumpkin today!
You will need DK Weight Yarn [3] and a 3.25 mm (D) hook OR to make a larger pumpkin Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 4 mm (G) hook.
I used Patons Astra Yarn that I purchased from Michaels in Waterloo.
I used 10 mm safety eyes for my little pumpkin container but you can use felt instead.
If you want to make this as a softie instead I've included instructions in my post to help you! Tap the link in my bio @oombawkadesigncrochet to go straight to my post.
I do have a PDF version available for purchase in my Ravelry Shop.
For those of you who don't know, all new Oombawka Design Crochet Newsletter Subscribers get 1 coupon they can use to get any 1 of my PDF patterns from Ravelry for free. My newsletter is linked in my bio too.

It is used for a linked double or triple crochet stitch!
I’m quite new to crochet and it just took working 1,000 stitches before I got the feel for the anatomy of a stitch. I have to say though, I still haven’t had the need to know where the front-most loop is that you have highlighted. What might it be used for?!
