Reverse Single Crochet (RSC), also known as the Crab Stitch, is a great, modern edging for your work. Perfect for everything from blankets to bags, it gives a firm edge with real visual interest. It takes a bit of practice, but it’s worth it. And now there’s a moogly video tutorial!
So as you can see, the Reverse Single Crochet is worked from left to right, and while it takes some practice, it’s a great stitch to have in your arsenal. It is hard to crochet into though, so it’s generally used for edgings and borders. Give it a try! And thanks for watching.

I like your blog and your patterns. This is the second time I’ve been here today. I want to let you know, though, that the link to your facebook page is broken. Hopefully you’ll get it fixed by the next time I’m here so I can “like” your page. You can visit me at https://www.facebook.com/CozyCornerCrochets?ref=tn_tnmn
Oops! Thanks so much Anna!

Just wanted to let you know–I did a search for crab stitch (in the blog) and didn’t get this tutorial–I had to click from the sidebar. I don’t know if you can tag or reference it so that it shows up, but you might want to. Thanks, I needed the video and I knew it was right here, it was nice to have the resource!
Thanks for letting me know Cory! I’ll try to get it more searchable.
Thanks for this video. I had trouble finding instructions for crab stitch that I could grasp, but yours hit the mark!
So glad to hear it!
