Basic Crochet Stitches

Slip Knot:

(Your starting point) Place the hook through a loop of yarn
leaving a 4 - 5” tail, then pull the working yarn through
the loop. Tighten.

Chain Stitch:

Most crochet projects begin with a foundation chain.
This is where you will work your project stitches.
Wrap the yarn around your hook from the working yarn end (yarn over) and pull
through the loop on the hook.
Wrap, pull through, repeat.

Repeat this several times to practice holding the yarn and hook and creating the
right tension.

Insert hook in stitch or space indicated. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over
and draw through both loops on hook.

Half Double Crochet:

Yarn over twice, insert hook in stitch or space indicated, yarn
over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook). Yarn over and draw
