Chain: meaning and how to work it
The most basic crochet stitch. You wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through the loop already on the hook, making a small link. A row of chains is usually the foundation for the first row.
How to work it
- Make a slip knot and put it on the hook.
- Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front (yarn over).
- Pull the yarn through the loop on the hook. That's one chain.
- Repeat until you have the number the pattern asks for. Don't count the loop on the hook.
