Abbreviations:

Crab stitch, also called as reverse single crochet stitch, has the same mechanics as a regular single crochet stitch – except in reverse. Instead of crocheting from right to left, you work from left to right. It produces a somewhat twisted edge that’s perfect for making a finished neat border of your crochet fabric.
