It’s simple and great for beginners! Here’s how to do it step by step:

1️⃣ Insert the Hook: Insert your crochet hook into the stitch or chain where you want to make the single crochet.

2️⃣ Yarn Over (YO): Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front.

3️⃣ Pull Through: Pull the yarn through the stitch. Now you have two loops on the hook.

4️⃣ Yarn Over Again: Wrap the yarn over the hook one more time.

5️⃣ Pull Through Both Loops: Pull the yarn through both loops on the hook.

✅ That’s it! You have made a single crochet stitch! Repeat the steps to continue crocheting.

💡 Tip: Keep your tension even so that your stitches look neat and consistent.
