Single crochet (sc)

1. Step 1

   Put the hook into the next stitch, under both loops at the top.

2. Step 2

   Yarn over and pull up a loop. You now have 2 loops on the hook.

3. Step 3

   Yarn over again and pull through both loops.

4. Step 4

   One single crochet is done, with 1 loop left on the hook.

Common mistakes

• Skipping the last stitch of the row: the piece gets narrower. Count your stitches at the end of every row.
• Working into the turning chain: the piece gets wider.
• Pulling too tight: let the loops be big enough for the hook to slide in.
