fpdc & Chain Faux Rib

This faux rib consists mainly of fpdc (front post double crochet) and a chain inbetween them.

I used this in my Meditation Capelet. fpdc & chain crochet rib produces a fabic that:

• has a ribbed appearance on both sides; both elastic
• is not dense but quite airy so it is good when you want a rib section that is quite soft
