Half-double crochet = 2 chain stitches

Double crochet = 3 chain stitches

At the end of your previous row and before you start your next row, take your yarn over your hook and use the hook pull through a loop. This is 1 chain stitch. As we’re doing single crochet we only need 1 chain stitch.

Turn your work around then skip the turning chain and work into the next stitch from the hook.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 at the end of every row and turn your work to your heart’s desire.
