Crochet Tutorial – Crab Stitch

Whenever I want to make a clean edge without giving my project a border that stands out, the Crab Stitch is my go-to stitch. It hides ends, gives a clean and sturdy edge to my project, and is super easy to make!

Hook and Yarn (with clickable affiliate links)

To make the pictured sample, I’ve used a Clover Amour hook and Lily Sugar’n Cream Yarn.

Video Tutorials
