Category: How To
So, if you have already learned to make a Slipknot and how to Chain from my previous posts and videos, you’ll know how to hook your yarn and pull it through a loop. This is really all the knowledge you’ll need to be able to pull off a Single Crochet.

Chaining is quite possibly the simplest thing you’ll ever do in Crocheting. The hardest part will be figuring out how to grip your hook and yarn.
