Single crochet is the easiest stitch in crochet and is great for beginners. First, tie a loop on the hook and chain the desired number of loops. Insert the hook into the two hook chains, loop the yarn, and pull it through the tie (there will be two loops on the hook). Pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook again. Repeat this process across the row. For the next row, knit it together, turn your work, and continue working in each stitch of the previous row, one by one.
