Explanation of the relief stick:
To make relief double crochets, crochet a double crochet in front of or behind another stitch from the previous row. So, instead of inserting the Crochet Hook into the top of the stitch (through the loop), you insert it around the stitch from the previous row. This is easiest to do with double crochets and treble crochets. Insert your Crochet Hook from right to left behind or in front of the stitch, and then crochet your double crochet as usual.
