GIANT COASTER PATTERN
Red Heart 4 ply WW Yarn (white & burgundy)
Hook Size I
Stitches: ch, sl st, sc, tr, rev sc.
A reverse single crochet (CRAB STITCH) is worked from left to right; whereas a regular single crochet stitch is worked from right to left. Insert your hook into the stitch or space indicated, then yarn over and pull up a loop. (You should have two loops on your hook.) Yarn over and draw through both of the loops on your hook. This stitch takes a bit of practice but the outcome is well worth the effort.
