In this DROPS video we show you how to work horizontal lines/stripes with half-treble crochets back and forth. The textured pattern is called Rib/Ribbing/English rib and there are many variations.
BEFORE THE VIDEO STARTS:
The pattern creates horizontal lines. We have worked a row of chain stitches to the required length, plus 2 chain stitches. Work 1 half-treble crochet in the 3rd chain stitch from the hook, then work 1 half-treble crochet in each chain stitch to the end of the row. Now work the textured pattern (pattern stitches) as shown in the video and described below. We have already worked a few cm of the textured pattern.
THE VIDEO SHOWS:
Turn the piece, work 2 chain stitches. Then work PATTERN STITCHES as follows: Work 1 half-treble crochet, but instead of working through the 2 stitch-loops at the top of the stitch, work though the stitch-loop just below these 2 stitch loops. To make crocheting simpler, fold the half-treble crochets slightly backwards so it is easier to work through the stitch-loop below, work the half-treble crochet in this stitch-loop. Work 1 pattern stitch in each half-treble crochet to the end of the row. Turn the piece, work 2 chain stitches, then work pattern stitches to the end of the row.
