Have you checked out the tutorial at Stitch Diva
http://www.stitchdiva.com/custom.aspx?id=73. From what I can see on the site
in all their patterns both sides of loops are crocheted.
I've done sideways knitting where you don't cast off the last few stitches.
You then let them unravel and they form a lovely looped fringe. I find that
every now and then some of the stitches slip down but they are easily worked
back into place.
One other possibility would be running it along under a sewing machine to
hold everything in place.
Good luck
Keep smiling :-)
