The stitches

Chain Stitch: Make a slip knot and slide it onto the shaft of your hook.You make a yarn loop that looks sort of like a pretzel (step1). With your yarn hand forefinger,

yarn over (yo) the hook from back to front (step 2). Slide the yarn from the yarn over into the throat of the hook. With your hook hand, rotate the hook toward you

so that the throat faces the slip knot. With gentle pressure upward on the hook, pull the hook, carrying the wrapped strand of yarn, through the loop on your hook

(step 3). One chain stitch (ch) is now complete, and one loop remains on your hook.

Slip Stitch: you will insert the crochet hook through the first chain you made which is next to the slip knot (step 1). Yarn over and draw it through the chain and

through the loop on hook; you have now joined five chains into a circle or a ring (step 2 & 3).

Double crochet: Yarn over the hook and insert your hook between the 2 front loops and under the back bump loop of the chain or stitch where you want to place

the double crochet (step 1). Yarn over the hook again and gently pull the wrapped hook through the center of the chain stitch, carrying the wrapped yarn through

the stitch (step 2). Yarn over the hook and draw your yarn through the first 2 loops on your hook (step 3). Yarn over the hook and draw your yarn through the last 2

loops on the hook (step 4). One double crochet stitch is complete. You should have one loop remaining on your hook.
