Single Crochet (sc)
The shortest of your basic stitches. Can be used to finish edges of other stitch patterns and sometimes to join two finished sections- Make a chain stitch. (for practice chain 13)
- Insert hook in 2nd chain from hook, Catch yarn and draw a loop through the chain (2 loops on hook) yarn over hook and draw through 2 loops to complete stitch
- Make 1 single crochet in each chain across row .
- After last stitch , chain 1 and turn; (when making the turning chain, turn work around from left to right until the opposite side is facing you) insert hook in 1st stitch to start next row.
- For practice, repeat previous row until you have mastered the technique and can work with ease.
- To fasten off at end of work: Make a chain stitch, then cut yarn, leaving 4" end. Pull end up tightly through loop on hook
