Pattern stitch:
Single crochet (with the yarn in front of the hook in the first step) Step1: Insert hook into the stich, bring yarn over hook but upwards, with the yarn in front and the hook behind and draw yarn throug the stitch and up onto the hook. There are now two loops on hook Step 2: Bring yarn over hook, and draw it through both loops on hook.
Techniques:
When rounds are worked in a continuous spiral, don't join rounds with slip stitch, but place marker between last and first stitch and carry the marker up on each round. When working back and forth, turn and make the first single crochet of next round in the same single crochet where you have the hook. Ifstarting with chain, turn and always make the first single crochet in the second loop from hook (see picture of step 1). When starting and ending each part, always leave a 8" tail for sewing.
