How do you crochet the second row?
The technique for crocheting a second row in a piece differs for each stitch. For example, for single crochets, you go up one chain, turn and go into the first loop on your piece (the top that looks like a braid or a v). For double crochet, you generally chain up 3 and go into the second stitch of the row. The number of chains needed may vary depending on the personal tension of the crocheter and how tall your stitches are. However, it is important to note that in single crochet, the chain up does NOT count as a stitch and in double and triple crochet it does. This makes a difference in which stitch is worked as your final stitch of the succeeding rows. If you miss the last stitch, or you go into the wrong first stitch, you will lose or add stitches on each row causing your work to go in directions you did not plan. You might like to check tutorials on Youtube which demonstrate the technique.

What does gauge mean when crocheting?
Gauge in Crocheting or Knitting would be the number of stitches per inch.You would make a swatch, and check it for the correct stitches/inch. To make a swatch, you will make a sample of the pattern. Using the suggested weight yarn (or specific yarn called for in the pattern), and suggested hook/needle size, begin crocheting a square--approximately 6inches by 6inches.After following the pattern, get a tape measure, and measure a 4inch by 4inch section in the middle of the swatch (you really need to not measure from side to side on the swatch, as most people crochet differently on the edge, than in the field of the item).Then you would count out how many stitches you made over 4inches in the row, and then how many rows you had in 4 inches. Then divide those numbers by 4 to get an average stitch per inch, and row per inch.Compare that with the gauge given in the pattern. What you are attempting to do to make sure that your project will match with the pattern as written. Otherwise, you could end up with a sweater too small, or large. Checking your gauge helps you determine what adjustments you might need to do to the pattern to have it end up as you need it to.
How do yo make a rick rib knitting stitch?
The rick rib stitch is a copyrighted stitch from Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, page 260. Because of copyright, it is not legal for me to copy her instructions here. I suggest you visit your local library or knit shop and look it up in that book.
