Crochet Tutorial #2 - Single Crochet
Hello Everyone! I am back with our second crochet tutorial, and I will be demonstrating the single crochet stitch. This is used very often, producing a tightly woven fabric and is a common stitch for patterns that require shaping, like baby booties.
This stitch is pretty simple, and hopefully the pictures below will help as well. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments and I will get back to you as quickly as I can!
I am also going to post a link to a simple tutorial for for a baby beanie at the end of the post.
Alright, let's get started.
You will start with a slip knot and a chain of the required length for your pattern. If you are unfamiliar with these, you can see my tutorial for those stitches here.
Insert hook in the second chain stitch from the hook. As you can see in the photo, I am using my left thumb and forefinger to keep the chain stitches in one place as I push my hook through.
Yarn over, remember to keep the hook in front of the yarn!
Pull the yarn through the first loop on your hook, ending up with two loops on your hook. Remember to angle the hook into your stitch for a smoother stitch.
Yarn over again.
Draw that yarn through both loops on your hook.
And Viola! You have a single crochet stitch.
I hope that this was helpful, and again, if there any questions feel free to post them in the comments.
Click here for a super simple baby hat tutorial that only uses the stitches that I have covered so far, and will help you get used to reading a pattern as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
God bless, Magda
