| Naturally biases! Alternating rows of slip stitch and single crochet. |

| Hdc in lower third loop; simply alternate the colors! |
I'm also trying to figure out how to reproduce my newsletters here. In the meantime I've created a special tab for them (see tabs above this post). Importing the content, especially with the newsletter columns preserved, is surprisingly complicated.
So: crochet ribbing. I have more photos of ribbed crochet stitches that I didn't have room to include in the latest Crochet Inspirations Newsletter issue (#36).

| Another slanter. Half double crochet (hdc; UK: htc or htr) rows in different loops. Good to know about ribbings that bias, no? |
UPDATE: See the follow up newsletter issue #37: "When Stitches Lean." |
| Isn't slip stitch ribbing amazing? |
Very refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI feel almost treasonous saying this, but I've never found a crochet ribbing I like as well as the knitted variety. I'll have to mess around some more with the slip stitch version and see if I can change that view. :)
I took a slipstitch crochet class from Vashti and the TBL stitch produces a ribbing that is almost indistinguishable from a knit ribbing. It has the same stretch and almost the same appearance as a knit ribbing - amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is very refreshing! I love the ribbing pictures.
ReplyDeleteI feel refreshed! It really does look great. And I'm looking forward to seeing your newsletters on the blog. I just came out with my first crochet newsletter yesterday and have been thinking about ways to add the content to the blog in archive format in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie and Kathryn :-)
ReplyDeleteSo Valerie -- sounds like you're experiencing it the way I am! Hope to see you at the next class.
