The Single Rib Stitch is a crochet stitch that is a great way to simulate a knitted rib stitch with crochet. It does not have the horizontal stretch of traditional ribbing, but can be used to great effect in hats, blankets, and sweaters.

The Half Fisherman’s Rib Stitch pattern is similar the to regular fisherman’s rib, with a thick, squishy rib texture. The difference is it has less vertical stretch and the ribs are a bit closer together.

The Oblique Rib Stitch is a simple rib pattern that creates a diagonal broken rib and is great for large pieces of fabric like afghans and pillows, or scarves.
