Single Crochet Stitch : Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
A clear single crochet tutorial covering insertion, yarn overs, turning chains, stitch counting, and how to avoid shrinking rows.
Keep the important notes beside the video.
To make a US single crochet (sc), insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over again, then pull through both loops on the hook. Unless the pattern says otherwise, work under both top loops of the stitch and check your stitch count at the end of each row.
