Finishing Row 3: Rib Stitch Crochet

Video Transcript

"We have been doing our ribbed crochet and we are on our third row from out initial chain. You can really see our ribs developing just like in this example piece. In case you are back tracking or if you are using a pattern that you found on a package of yarn and you are not really sure how to tell what row you are on, all you do is when you pull it up, you can see that thats one row going across, thats two, and of course, this is three that we are on right now. So just to finish, of course, you are just going to keep alternating on whatever rate you like. Whether its every other one, every other two, every three, what ever you like. And you just keep working and alternating, making sure that you keep them all the same. Pulling the same ones forward and the same ones backward. And when you get to the end, you just really want to be sure that you are not grabbing too far up here. You really want to stay on the outside just to keep this outside nice and straight and going upward. You don't want it to lean in or to lean out. It is very easy to skew our edges. So with our yarn wrapped around out needle, you want to go right underneath here and pull it through. We go our three loops. Do the first two, do the rest of them through. And you can see, we got nice straight stacks on our outside. Its going to be very nice straight edge. And you see over here its still kind of bent. But whenever you get back over to this end and you put it in on your side, it will pull straight up again. So as you continue, just when ever you get to the end, just chain up two. And then just keep working your pattern this same way we have been going. And you can go as long or as short you want. This is the easiest pattern that you can do. It looks really intricate. Its so easy. It goes by so fast. Just keep going backwards and forward, in and out as many times as you want until you make your scarf or your blanket or whatever task that you are working on at the time. This is really easy and just continue until you are done."
