Ch - Chain Sc - Single crochet 2 sc - 2 single crochet increase Sc2tog - 2 single crochet decrease Sk - Skip Sl st - Slip stitch St(s) - Stitch(es) R# - Round/Row # Rep - Repeat
Magic Ring:
A few inches from the end of the yarn, wrap two loops over your finger. While the loops still on your finger, insert the hook from right to left into the loops and pull the working yarn through.
Carefully take the loops off your fingers and chain one. This doesn't count as the firststitch.
Insert the hook into the two loops again and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through both loops. This counts as the first single crochet stitch. Continue for the rest of the stitches. Then pull the yarn tail to close the hole.
Color Changes:
When you get to the last stitch in the current color, insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and draw up a loop.
Yarn over with the new color and draw through both loops on the hook.
