All About Single Crochet Patterns
Crocheting single crochet patterns are easy to learn. These simple stitch designs only require the knowledge of a single crochet stitch, chain stitch, and a slip stitch. You may be thinking why do I need to know three stitches when these are supposed to be single crochet projects? Well, the base of most single crochet projects are worked with a beginning chain. The slip stitch will be used at the end of a project to fasten off and secure it. That is why you will need to know three stitches to be able to complete a single crochet project.
Below you will find a written explanation of the three basic stitches you’ll need to know to crochet a single crochet pattern.
Single Crochet Stitch (SC)
- Insert the hook from front to back in the second chain from the hook or designated stitch
- Bring the yarn over (YO) the hook and pull the yarn back through the chain from back to front (2 loops on hook).
- YO and pull through both loops on the hook.
Chain Stitch (CH)
A simple crochet stitch that often forms the foundation of what crochet stitches are worked into during projects.
- Make a slip knot.
- Insert the hook into the slip knot point first, bring yarn over the shaft of the hook from back to front and grab it with the throat of the hook.
- Draw hooked yarn through the slip knot and onto the hook. This movement will make one chain stitch
- Repeat steps two and three until you have the desired number of stitches for a pattern. One loop will remain on hook.
Slip Stitch (SLST)
- Insert the hook into designated stitch
- YO (yarn over) and pull back through two loops
