To Make Single Crochet
- Material: Germantown wool.
- Bone crochet hook No. 5.
Make a row of 15 chain stitches.
Cut 1—Put the hook through the second chain stitch from the needle. (That is, skip one chain stitch.)
Cut 2—Draw a loop through the chain stitch, and wrap the yarn over the hook, and
Cut 3—Pull a loop through the two loops on the needle.
Cut 4—Keep on working in this way until you have made a row of single crochet stitches.
To Turn the Work
In making the second row (on top of the first row) make 1 chain stitch to use in turning; that is, make 1 chain stitch, and holding the needle still in the right hand, turn the work over to the wrong side so that the row just made points in the same direction as the needle. It is always necessary to use chain stitches in turning crochet work—to keep the edges even.
Put the hook through under both threads at the top of the next stitch (See “A” in the picture) and make a single crochet stitch. Continue to make single crochet stitches across the row.
