June 5, 2009, Newsletter Issue #64: Single Crochet (sc)

Tip of the Week

The single is the most common stitch of all. It is the very first stitch that you learn when you start crocheting.  You start with 1 loop on your hook. You do NOT wrap the yarn around, you just go ahead and stick the hook into the next chain or stitch below and then yarn around the hook (you're looping the yarn from behind the hook up over to the front of the hook) and pull through a loop. You now have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn around the hook and pull the yarn through the 2 loops on your hook. You now have 1 loop on your hook again and should have just finished a single crochet stitch.
