How to Crochet the Three Colour Ribbing Photo Tutorial

Add a little pop of colour to your crochet ribbing with this Three Colour Ribbing crochet stitch pattern that is reversible!

If you are someone who loves to add unique colour combinations to your stitch project, this stitch tutorial is for you! As crocheters, we use ribbing in our crochet projects in a variety of ways. The unique and wonderful thing about this ribbing is how the colour looks as though it has been worked over even more! I really love how it mixes it up.

One thing to note with this ribbing is that it is not as stretchy as some of the other ribbing techniques out there due to the way it is worked. It is also quite thick.

Materials

• Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet yarn in three colours labelled A, B and C
• 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook

Abbreviations

Notes

• This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in three colours labelled A, B and C.
• To begin, with colour A, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain.
