crocheting a knit inspired top | how to crochet knit stitch (crochet ribbing)

Hello there amish universe!

Have you tried to knit before and gave up in frustration? Have you been overcome with sorrow at the cute knit tops you see on pinterest/instagram but cannot figure out how to make? This video is for you!

This one is for all my girlies that can crochet but not knit 🤭 In this video, I show you how to make a top that looks like knit BUT it's 100% crochet. This technique is called crochet ribbing. I did my ribbing with half double crochets, but you could also do it with a single or double crochets. Crochet ribbing is VERY SIMPLE and beginner friendly so do not worry at all.

Even though crochet ribbing is super simple, it gives your piece a whole new look - especially when you do your rows vertical instead of horizontal. I hope you enjoy watching me make this pinterest inspired knit top and watch til the end to see if I accomplish all three challenges :o eep.
