How to Crochet a Single Crochet

  1. Insert your hook into the second stitch after your hook.
  2. Yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through the loop. You should now have two loops on your hook.
  3. Yarn over your hook again and pull the yarn through both loops on your hook.
  4. You have now done a single crochet!

Repeat the technique to make more single crochets.
