Crochet Tutorial - Part III

These next stitches are the more advanced or difficult stitches. There are plenty more stitches on the reference charts for those wanting something more

Solomon's Knot Stitch (kn st)

When doing this stitch there is a little trick to make it easier to keep the stitch the proper size and that is to pull up the loops as long as 3 ch or as tall as a dc; this will keep the stitch in perfect balance with the rest of the work.

Reverse Crochet or Shrimp St

This stitch is a finishing stitch which gives a nice corded, or rolled, look to an edge; it's purpose is only for edging. It looks good sometimes with a contrasting color or finish (like rayon) thread.

*Insert hook in next st to right, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through 2 lps on hook for sc, repeat from * around.

I don't especially care for it. it is a matter of personal taste, I think.
