Beginners- Single Crochet Stitch Part 2

Beginners - Single Crochet Stitch Part 2 

Ok a couple of days ago, I showed you how to make a single crochet stitch into a line at whatever length you chose. This is our line that we are going to work off of today to show you how to crochet more than just one row. Get your hooks ready! In this picture I am using a J hook and Red Heart yarn from Walmart. You can use whatever makes you comfortable.

 First you are going to stick your hook through the top of the stitch that you just finished, if you look below you will see two loops on the hook. I am getting ready to pull my yarn through one of those loops.....

Now the yarn I just pulled through the first loop is on my hook with the second loop that was already there. Pull your yarn through both of these loops............

This is what it should look like once you have done that. You will still have a loop on your hook and you are ready to repeat this process, until you are finished with this row.

Below you will see what it will look like once you have completed the entire row. .........

Now you are ready for the next row. Instead of going directly into the next stitch here you will chain one first, this means you will pull a loop through the loop that you have left from the last row..........

Ok now with this row you will stick your hook through the entire top of the stitch, as you can see it looks like there are three loops. This is how it should look when you work your stitches from here until you are finished with your project. ...................... ( everyone crochets differently, I am teaching you my way)

 Ok so you pulled your yarn through the stitch and now you should be showing two loops on your hook, you will pull your yarn through both loops and should have one loop remaining when you are finished with this stitch. .......... see not to hard, its the same as the last row. That is all there is to it.......... You just keep doing it this way until your finished with your row and then you start your following rows, the way I just showed you................

 This is what it will look like when you are done with your row, you will see three rows......... Keep practicing this and you will be a pro in no time at all. This stitch is actually used quite a bit, so it is important to be able to do it well...................

Ok that is all................ I told you it wouldn't be to hard. Now if your still confused or have any questions please feel free to ask under the comments section here or through the Momma's Time Out facebook page. Good Luck and if you finish a project with the help of my tutorials by all means please share them, I like to know that I am helping someone learn to crochet. :) Most of all have fun!!!
