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
