Two Methods of Crocheted Ribbing

by Sheila Talley

The "Orthodox" or Traditional Method

Chain desired width of ribbing.

Row 1

SC in 2nd and each chain across. Chain 1, turn

Row 2-On

SC in back loop only of 2nd SC and each SC across to last stitch. SC through both loops of last SC. CH 1, turn

Slip stitch to edge of garment.

My "Unorthodox" Method

Attach yarn to corner edge of garment. Chain desired width of ribbing. (For example, let's say chain 10).

Row 1

SC in 2nd and each chain across. Chain 1, turn.

Rows 2

SC in back loop only of 2nd SC and each SC across to last stitch. SC through both loops of last SC. Chain 1, turn.

Row 3

SC in back loop only of next 9 SC across. Slip stitch in edge of garment level with row. Slip stitch again 1 row up on garment. Turn. Slip stitch again just before first SC, keeping thread snug. SC in 9 SC across. CH 1, turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until ribbing is completed around garment. If needed, join with slip stitching to first edge of ribbing.
