Single Crochet

Also known as: Double crochet (UK)

The most fundamental crochet stitch. Creates a tight, dense fabric perfect for items that need structure.

How to Single Crochet

1. Insert hook into the stitch. 2. Yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). 3. Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook. 4. One single crochet complete.

💡 Pro Tips

Count your stitches at the end of every row when learning. The turning chain does NOT count as a stitch in single crochet.
