Crochet Stitch Pattern: Single Raised Rib

Single Crochet Raised Rib 

Here is a single rib crochet pattern using Front Post Single Crochet. This is a ice tight pattern. If you were to use Front Post Double Crochets they are much looser. Easier to get your fingers caught in them. This is great for a scarf, baby blanket and much more.


Multiple of 3 +  3 stitches are needed so for me I did 6x3 = 18+3 = 21

I chained 21

Hook: I
