Single Crochet Stitch

Published by raesmom at 3:32 pm under General Edit This

The single crochet stitch is widely used in crochet crafts like amigurumi. It’s a basic stitch that once you learn you can create a variety of crochet items like afghans, amigurumi, and scarves just to name a few.

I’m working on an amigurumi elephant so I’ll demonstrate the single crochet with it. First you will go below the two loops on the stitch or between the stitches in the chain stitch if it is your first row.

Next yarn over the hook.

Now pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook. After this you should have two loops left.

Yarn over once again.

Now pull the yarn through the remaining loops on the hook.

Now you should just have one loop on the hook that was formed by the yarn that you pulled through the loops.

While it may seem like a lot of steps at first, it will become a lot easier when you are used to doing it.
