But I usually use a "slst in back loops only" ribbing that is much, much stretchier. If you make a swatch, you'll see how much better it is! Here are some sample swatch patterns for each technique: sc ribbing: ch 10 Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across, ch 1, turn (9 sts) Row 2: sc in back loops only of each st across, ch1, turn (9 sts) Rows 3 - 10: Repeat Row 2 slst ribbing: ch 10 Row 1: slst in 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across, ch 1, turn (9 sts) Row 2: slst in back loops only of each st across, ch1, turn (9 sts) Rows 3 - 10: Repeat Row 2 About crochet ribbed sleeves/edging: It’s true that the usual “sc in back loops only” gives a ribbing that doesn’t share the stretchiness of knit ribbing.
