Ribbed Stitch (F&Bdc2tog)
This technique creates a post on the front and back of the row, creating a "Rib". F&Bdc2tog: (Front post and Back post, double crochet 2 together) - Do two dc, one in front and 1 in back and combine them together to form one stitch.
Typical F&Bdc2tog
1. To create the front post, yo and insert the hook around the Front double crochet (Post) of previous row.​​​​
3. To create the back post, yo (so there are 3 loops on the hook), twist hook to the back side of the crochet row and insert hook around the Back Post of the previous round. (Note: you may have to hold the 3rd loop as it can come off when twisting the hook behind the back post)
2. yo, draw up a loop so only 2 loops on the hook to complete the front post.
4. yo, draw up a loop, yo, pull through all three loops on hook.
