MATERIALS:
Red Heart 4 ply Worsted Weight
G Hook
Stitches Used: ch, sl st, sc, rev sc.
The Reverse Single - rev sc - (a/k/a crab stitch) is an awkward stitch.
It is simply a regular single crochet stitch worked in the opposite direction.
The best advice I can give for this stitch is to make your stitches somewhat loose by pulling up the loop just a bit more than you normally would. You can find illustrated instructions here:
