Match both ends together. Ch 1, slst in each st and beginning chain like picture below. As a result, this joins the two ends. Then, turn the ribbing just made so that the slsts are on the inside of the piece. This is now considered the wrong side.

You will now turn your work so you will be working in the ends of the rows just worked like pictured below.

Switch to a I hook.
