After you’ve made your foundation chain, the next step is to crochet your first row of stitches.
This is where your crochet really begins to take shape. You’ll be working your hook into the loops of the chain you just made to create your first row of stitches.
In the video below, I’ll show you slowly where to insert your hook into the chain and how each stitch is formed so you can clearly see what’s happening at every step.
