Learn to Crochet the Crab Stitch

In this video you will learn how to crochet the Crab Stitch. This stitch uses the single crochet stitch but instead of being worked going right to left as normal you work it going left to right! Sort of a backward single crochet. It's lots of fun and quick and easy to accomplish.

Here is a pretty scarflette for you to crochet that is fun and fast to make. These make wonderful gifts as they easily fit most people. You can adjust the size if need be by just lengthening or shortening the body of the scarflette.

This is about 4 1/2" wide by 27" long (total length) It will fit a 17" to 19" neck size.

You can use any type of bulky yarn. It takes just a little over a skein of yarn. However that depends upon how much yardage your skein has. I used Patons Shetland Chunky Tweeds in Medium Blue and just about 1/4 of one skein of Cascade 220 in a dark purple for the end flounce. I would suggest using a soft, washable yarn since this will be worn close to the neck.
