How to crochet chain stitches quickly and easily
(Referred to as ch in abbreviation patterns)
Each pattern will begin with a series of chain stitches, you need to refer to your pattern to see how many are needed, for now however just practise making a line of chain stitches. You form a chain stitch as follows:
1. Holding the hook and yarn put the hook down between the gap between your fingers and the yarn.
2. Take the hook under the yarn and up the side, this will catch the yarn onto your hook, - you will have two loops on your hook.
3. Now draw the hook through the previous stitch on the hook whilst holding onto the yarn.
4. One chain stitch has been made.
5. Repeat steps 1 – 4 over and over again to make a row of chains.
