Mastering Right-Side Relief and Incurved Crochet Techniques

Understanding Right-Side and Wrong-Side Relief Crochet

Right-side relief crochet creates a beautiful arched appearance, while wrong-side relief crochet gives an incurved look.

Getting Started with Your Foundation

Make a chain of chain stitches followed by 1 row of double crochets, and then turn your work.

Creating Arched and Incurved Double Crochets

In the next row, make 2 chain stitches, followed by 1 arched double crochet, and then 1 incurved crochet. Rotate these two crochet types to the end of the row.

Building Subsequent Rows

Start a new row with 2 chain stitches. Crochet them above the arched double crochets from the previous row to create incurved double crochets. Then, make arched double crochets above the incurved double crochets of the previous row.

Continue your work by rotating the crochet types as you progress.

Creating the 2 x 2 Rib Pattern

The 2 x 2 rib is constructed similarly to the 1 x 1 rib, with the key difference being the number of double crochets used. Rotate 2 arched (right-side) double crochets and 2 incurved (wrong-side) double crochets for a unique texture.
