We tend to forget that this stitch is very versatile and can be used for much more. It can give your work a dense - though soft and drapable - fabric, you can use it for decoration, and it can be used for a stretchy ribbing.
Have you figured out by now, what stitch I'm referring to?
Did you ever think about how many different crocheted ribbings there exist? I think most of us just do whatever a pattern tells us - or you find a page telling you 'how to crochet a ribbing'. As in one ribbing.
Being conscious about the different kinds of ribbing is an advantage, if you want to be able to change an existing pattern or make your own design.
It fits a variety of sizes and will keep your upper chest warm under your jacket.
Go have a look. You can find the free pattern at LoveCrochet and on Ravelry.
The other day my 3½ year old ran away with the hat and wouldn't return it. Later he asked, if he could have one too - a red one! So the happy mom made one more red hat.
I didn't write the original pattern for small kids, but it can easily be adjusted.
Here is what to do.
YEAH! A new pattern has been released! It is a sideways hat. Made completely from the Top Stitch Rib pattern. I've nursed the top, so it is ribbed almost all the way to the top center.You will find the pattern at www.lovecrochet.com.
A tester said: "It's is a very light weight feeling on my head when compared to a hat made in regular crochet stitches. And much stretchier. Just all around more comfortable."
A very easy way to make a hat is making it sideways. You simply crochet a long rectangle and sew the ends and the top. And there you have a hat.
I'll show you how to do that and how to figure out the right sizes.

And when your hat is done, you want the hat to look smooth and soft without those edgy corners from your increases. Or maybe you want a little decoration?

I have an excellent new ribbing for you!
I've been playing around with the Top Stich and found a very, very neat way to make an awesome ribbing. I haven't seen it anywhere else. So I dare to call this NEW!

- Is extremely flexible
- It has a very soft structure
- And the stitch pattern looks great
I have this lovely way-too-big sweater. It is great for a rainy day, when you just want to stay indoor doing crochet. Only thing is; the neck is too open. So my chest gets cold.
Recently a clever girl on Facebook told me, I could use Tunisian Top Stitch as a rib. So I wanted to try that on my sweater.
