- Starting on the side of the working yarn,
place the last wrap of the lower rake on the
crochet hook.
- Crochet a single chain stitch with the
working yarn and the removed wrap by bringing
the working yarn over the top of the crochet
hook from back to front, catching the working
yarn with the hook and turning the hook a
little towards you to keep the yarn from
falling off. Then draw the yarn through the
removed wrap that's on the hook.

the crochet hook. You now have two wraps on the
crochet hook.

little towards you to keep the yarn from
falling off. Then draw the yarn through the
removed wrap that's on the hook. You will have
