Finishing Row 2: Rib Stitch Crochet

Video Transcript

"We've been working in our rib crochet across our first row and we've been building our second row. You see we're starting to get our columns that stick out and if you flip it to the back we have the exact same pattern, because some are brought to the front and some are sent to the back. When you turn it around those are the ones that stick out. It's a nice easy pattern. You see we've got two double crochets left and we still have this little piece at the end from where we first started our chain. I'll show you how we're going to take care of that. But, first we're going to finish up these last two. Pull the chain through there, pull the chain through there and then again you're going to go in from the back and in front of that column. Pull the yarn through. You're going to pull it through the first two, yarn through the second two. Now that we've gotten to this little piece you can't really when you get to the ends make it go forwards or backwards. It will go one way or the other depending on what the chain in front of it is. But, for now all we're going to do is we're just going to make sure that we feed into here to keep our borders straight. So, you're going to wrap a piece of yarn around and then underneath you find this one long stretched out chain. Yours might not look exactly the same, but it'll be this curled up piece right here. Now, you just want to stick your needle somewhere that is really grounded in those chains. Stick it somewhere in the middle of there. Pull your yarn through to the first two and through the second two. You're still going to do a double crochet you're just not going to pull it backwards or forwards. You're going to have a little bit of a curve here and that's fine. That's what happens because of our initial chain, but by doing; setting it up like this from now on as we work up we're going to have a nice straight line. You see there's a curve right there, but for the rest of it, it just goes nice and straight up. We've just completed our second row and I'll show you how to start our next one."
