Thank you very much for this detailed video tutorial❤It was definitely helpful. A few months ago, I coped with this ribbing. But now, when I finish with my hexagon cardigan, I'll have a look at your video again for help😊

So glad I found this, did not want to make cuffs, and collars and then sewing them on. I hope I can do this, I got kind of loss on the slip stitching and making the height the same using any type of stitch. Great video thanks for sharing.

Great video! I usually do it the other way around, doing my wrist or waistband first. For the necklines, I just count and measure and do them seperately, and then sew them on. Not knowing how to do something never stops me from getting it done one way or the other - even if it is bassackwards. These ways seemed the easiest to me.
Now, I want to tell you about a cool little trick I learned from a fellow hairdresser, who had a custom wedding ring made for the huge solitaire diamond her man bought for her. Due to the size of the stone which has a little something in common with the cabochon type jewelry on your fingers -- which naturally follows gravity, shifting itself around to the side of your fingers as you're working -- something of a pet peeve to all crafters and high on the list of raging peeves that hairdressers have. She had a custom ring made of 3 squared off circles, each ring separated by a bead and of course they were all soldered together with the Oval Solitaire on top, spanning the width of the Ring itself (thus, the beads at the rounded square corners). The whole point was to keep the ring from shifting around to the side of her finger all the time. She figgered, "If it's Square, it can't".
Well, when I learned a genius of that, I took all of my rings to the jeweler and had them heat them up, reshape and square them off - at least at the bottom, if not the entire ring. Works like a dream should. They tried to say that it couldn't be done with the silver ones, and something about the integrity of the silver, and the writing on one of them might be lost, I wasn't really listening anyway, but I patted the guy's hand, and said "I have faith"...and promptly left. The guy talking was not the jewelrysmith, so what did he know? They/he had also told me that they could not cut an east-west men's turquoise ring top off and then resolder it and keep the pattern on the sides to make it a north-south feminine-looking ring. I pretty much told him the same thing, and guess what? They did a marvelous job! And then, just my luck, east-west rings became very popular for women to wear.

Great tutorial. Your explanations are very clear! Thank you. I’ve only hooked FP and BP to create ribbing. Your method looks less bulky. But I usually just pickup stitches and knit my ribbing - very elastic and not bulky.

Super helpful and well-explained technique! Thanks so much for the tutorial.

[@dollyparedes9020]

Gracias, muchas gracias!!!! Muy útil tu explicación para la terminación de prendas ❤

[@cathieparkerson523]

Great video! Wondering if you have one that shows you crocheting rib the side from the ribbing on the bottom !

[@lilygreener]

Where can I look for a tutorial on those pockets?

[@sarbar86]

Great tutorial! What yarn and color are you using for the ribbing? It’s beautiful.
