May 11, 2011 - Hi Connie! The crab stitch is beautiful. I have done the crochet stitch in reverse. This stitch is called the (reverse single crochet). I have used this a few times myself on a blanket, sweater, and hats. It does make a wonderful edging.Thank you for sharing your Crab Stitch pattern:) God Bless!:)

Aug 4, 2011 - Thank you for this instruction. I read about this stitch and could not really understand how to set about going from left to right - it just sounded too weird and I thought there must be a misprint. You saying that it does feel a little strange to start with really has convinced me to try it. I'm very grateful.
