The first stitch I’m going to teach you here is the single crochet. I’m going to show you the ‘traditional’ way with turning chains and crocheting into the top loop of the foundation chain. See the table of contents for the full video to see what topics are shown and discussed.

Check out the crochet course overview for the videos in which I show you how to get nice straight edges when crocheting single crochet stitches, and the different ways to crochet in the foundation chain.

The pattern that is created by making this stitch is included in the stitch library. There you can also see the pattern drawing and the description for crocheting.
