How to make crochet ribbed stitch

It looks like you uploaded an image of a crochet project — that’s a ribbed crochet texture, often made using front post double crochet (FPDC) and back post double crochet (BPDC) stitches.

Here’s how you can make this pattern step-by-step:

---

🧶 Crochet Ribbed Stitch (Front & Back Post Double Crochet)

This pattern creates that 3D ribbed texture you see in the image — neat vertical lines that look like knit ribs.

🪡 MATERIALS:

• Yarn: Medium weight (#4) acrylic or cotton yarn
• Hook: 4.0 mm – 5.0 mm (use what’s recommended on the yarn label)
• Scissors & yarn needle for finishing

🪴 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Make the foundation chain

• Chain any even number of stitches (plus 2 for the turning chain).
  👉 Example: Chain 32 + 2 = 34 chains total.

Step 2: Double crochet base row

1. Yarn over, insert hook into the 3rd chain from the hook.
2. Yarn over, pull through (you have 3 loops on your hook).
3. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
4. Yarn over again, pull through remaining 2 loops.
   → You made 1 double crochet (dc).
5. Continue making 1 dc in each chain across the row.
6. Turn your work.
   (Now you have a flat row of double crochet stitches.)

Step 3: Start the rib pattern (Row 2)

1. Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc).
2. Yarn over, prepare to make a Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC):
   • Insert hook from front to back to front around the post of the next dc (the vertical part under the top loops).
   • Yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook).
   • Yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
   • Yarn over, pull through last 2 loops.
     ✅ That’s one FPDC — it pops outward toward you.
3. For the next stitch, make a Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC):
   • Yarn over, insert hook from back to front to back around the post of the next dc.
   • Yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook).
   • Yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
   • Yarn over, pull through last 2 loops.
     ✅ This one sits behind the fabric.
4. Repeat this alternating FPDC, BPDC pattern across the row.
5. End with a normal dc on the top of the turning chain.
6. Turn your work.

Step 4: Continue the pattern (Row 3 and beyond)

1. Chain 2.
2. Work a FPDC around each FPDC from the previous row.
3. Work a BPDC around each BPDC from the previous row.
4. Continue this across.
5. End with a normal dc at the edge.

Repeat this row for the rest of your project.

🧵 TEXTURE TIP:

If you want thicker ribs, you can do:

• 2 FPDC, then 2 BPDC instead of alternating every stitch.
• Or use half double crochet (hdc) for a softer texture.

🌟 Example pattern (written in US terms):

Ch 34
Row 1: Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 2, *FPDC around next dc, BPDC around next dc*; repeat * to * across, dc in top of turning ch, turn.
Row 3: Ch 2, *FPDC around FPDC, BPDC around BPDC*; repeat across, dc in top of turning ch, turn.
Repeat Row 3 for pattern.
