Crab Stitch

I Finally learned how to do the crab stitch (AKA Reverse Crochet, I hate sending you to about.com because of their popups!!! so, I'll link directly to the images for the helpful part)

First put the hook through the next st opposite your working direction (if you're going right to left, as usual, then insert through the next st to the right)

Then, pull the loop through under the working loop! I actually twist my hook to get them to 'switch places'! This is where the twist comes from! This image was the ~AH HA~ that I needed!

Then just yo and pull through as usual. So now I have the crab st in my st vocabulary to use on the lunchbag pattern (a la twelve 22) I'm making!!
