Crocheting a Ribbed Band

A ribbed band is quite popular when starting your work, such as in bottom-up hats, but you don’t often see a ribbed band at the end of your work. With the release of my Brody Baby Bottoms pattern, I wanted to create a photo tutorial to better demonstrate this technique. In this pattern, this method is used for the cuffs at the bottom of each pant leg.

The Brody Baby Bottoms are worked as one piece, so there is no sewing required!

Sl st to the first DC of R19 of the leg. Then, sl st to the next st of R19.

You will continue this ribbing around your work until you reach the beginning.
