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.
To Make Double Crochet
- Material: Germantown wool.
- Bone crochet hook No. 5.
Make a row of 15 chain stitches.
Wrap the yarn over the needle, and put hook through the third chain stitch from the needle. (That is, skip 2 chain stitches.)
Draw a loop through the chain stitch, and wrap yarn over hook.
Pull a loop through 2 of the loops on the needle.
