Special Stitches

Reverse Single Crochet (rsc) aka Crab Stitch

Working from front to back insert hook in next stitch to the right and complete a single crochet.

The Waistcoat Stitch (wc)

The Waistcoat stitch is also known as center post stitch, center single crochet, or knit stitch.

It’s basically a single crochet, but you insert your hook in between the middle of the post, rather than the usual top two loops. Then, complete the stitch just as you would a single crochet.

You’ll want to crochet a bit loosely to make it easier to work into.
