I will now go over the 4 most basic crochet stitches:
The Single Crochet Stitch
The Half Double Crochet Stitch
The Double Crochet Stitch
and The Triple Crochet Stitch
We're starting with the Single Crochet Stitch (SC)
Make 1 CH to start your row, This 1 CH is the same height as the SC
*To start our SC: Insert your hook into the next Stitch, grab that yarn you're working with and pull it through that Stitch, pulling up 1 loop on your hook
You'll have 2 loops on your hook now
Yarn over your hook 1 time
Take that yarn through both loops on your hook
to complete that Single Crochet Stitch
You'll now repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row
And that's how the Single Crochet Stitch is looking
I have a individual tutorial for this stitch here!
Next we are making the Half Double Crochet Stitch (HDC)
Make 2 CHs to start your row, These 2 CHs are the same height as the HDC
*To start our HDC: Yarn over your hook 1 time
Insert your hook into the next Stitch, grab that yarn you're working with and pull it through that Stitch, pulling up 1 loop on your hook
You'll have 3 loops on your hook now
Yarn over your hook 1 time
Take your yarn through all 3 loops on your hook to complete that HDC Stitch
You'll now repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row
And that's how the Half Double Crochet Stitch is looking
