Red Heart 4 ply WW Yarn (white & burgundy)

REVERSE SINGLE CROCHET (a/k/a CRAB STITCH)

A reverse single crochet is worked from left to right; whereas a regular single crochet stitch is worked from right to left. Insert your hook into the stitch or space indicated, then yarn over and pull up a loop. (You should have two loops on your hook.) Yarn over and draw through both of the loops on your hook. This stitch takes a bit of practice but the outcome is well worth the effort. Click here for illustrated instructions
