Reverse Single Crochet, also known as the Crab Stitch

Reverse Single Crochet makes a beautiful edging.  It's easy to do -- just a bit awkward at first since you're working from left to right, or in reverse . . . .

Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Starting out, 
2. Insert hook into first stitch to the left,
3. From front to the back,
4. Loop over hook,
5. Pull through stitch (two loops on hook)
6. Loop over hook,
​7. And pull through both loops on hook.
