pie crust edge crochet.

have never heard of this, anyone know what it is and how to do it?

Yes, a very creative and pretty finish to edges. w/o being too frou frou. Sort of a cabled-iCord edge.
Here're a few links:

That looks very nice, thank you. :thumbup:

AKA reverse single crochet or crab stitch. It's a little tricky because you work from left to right instead of right to left.

I've been using this stitch for years and never heard of it referred to as pie crust edge.
I find it really handy when you don't want the edge on anything to roll. Good around necklines, even on knitting.

I've never heard that name for it either. Interesting. Look at this bunting pattern (admittedly NOT related to the edging question, but fun anyway)!

I learned it as the reverse single crochet stitch & back in the 70's they referred to it as piecrust edging. My old 'Harmony Guide to Crocheting' (from 1993) refers to it as a corded edge. One of my Magic Crochet magazines from 1988 calls it crab stitch. No matter what you call it, it's sc stitches done in reverse in a left to right direction.

I have always known this stitch as crab stitch and use it for the edging on crocheted baby jackets.

i am 71 and learned it as the pie crust stitch..resembles the pinched crust edging on a pumpkin pie. when i saw the crab st or reverse sc i was all of a sudden learning a new stitch!!!NOT. they are all the same. very nice simple edging.

I clicked on the post and saw so many delicious pies - the eating kind - that I might have to stop knitting and do a little baking.

I saw those too! Yum.

I have (and have gifted several) Conair GS23 steamers. It sends out a small or great amount of steam depending on settings and steams in any hand-held direction/position.
Bought at JoAnn's, it's available widely.

I'm not sure how this got into this particular thread, but it looks like a neat steamer. Can you use it to steam something laid flat on a table without spitting and leaking problems?

With wrong side facing, 1 double crochet, slip next stitch.
Alternate these two stitches all the way around.
