Now the work is in a tube with the wrong side facing out. The crochet hook is positioned after finishing the last row of crochet stitches in preparation for the seaming the crochet hat. Note that in the photo below, I’ve rotated the work so that the rectangle is positioned as it will be when the crochet hat is complete.

Crochet Ribbing Stitchįor this easy crochet hat, you will be making half double crochet stitches into the back loop on every row.
Maybe some of you are not “getting” this either and hopefully this bit of explanation has helped. And I SERIOUSLY did NOT grasp this concept until recently. When you turn your work, the current back loop is really the front loop from the row before. What you need to remember is that working in the back loop REALLY means to identify the top of the stitch and THEN work in the top loop that is FURTHEREST from you as the work is facing you. BUT when you are working back and forth in row and CONTINUING to work in the back loop, this looks a little different. You work in the back loop and as you go, the front loop pops out. When you are working in the round, this is so easy to spot. If you’ve read my Parts of a Stitch post you know that if you’ve just crocheted a stitch, the top of the stitch makes a “V’ and the back loop is the back of the “V” shape. Second, what does “working in the back loop mean”. My seaming method is the easiest one out there and cinching the top together is a breeze. It’s the perfect combination of closely worked stitches for warmth while taking advantage of the bulky weight yarn for a quick project. The ribbed wonder uses a half double crochet (instead of the more common double crochet stitch or single crochet rib). I like the looks of half double worked in a rib stitch pattern. You’ll find other crochet rib hats out there but I’m hoping this might be your new favorite!
