The single crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch are both part of the basic stitches every crocheter knows and uses regularly.
They are very easy to use, perfect for beginner and advanced crocheters alike. To make a single crochet stitch, pull up a loop in the next stitch on your chain, then pull the yarn through the two loops on your hook.
To make a double crochet stitch, yarn over before pulling up a loop through the next stitch on your chain.
Pull the yarn through the first two loops on your hook, then repeat with the last two loops. On this list, you will find some fantastic, beginner-friendly patterns.
They are perfect for those who want to practice basic stitches but also those who are in the mood for something simple, yet wonderful.
