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.

    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?!
