Row 1
1. Chain any number of chains. You will start working in the second chain from your hook. The loop that is on your hook does not count as a chain.
2. So, insert your hook in the second chain. The chain that you skipped will be the height of the row.
3. Yarn over.
4. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.
5. Yarn over.
6. Pull the yarn through both loops. You have just made the first single crochet!
7. Continue making single crochets in every stitch until the end of the row.
8. At the end of the row chain one.

9. Turn your work around. Chain one does not count as a stitch. You will start working in the first stitch of the previous row.
