Crochet 101 Lesson 3: Single Crochet Stitch Tutorial

The Single Crochet stitch is a commonly used stitch. It is abbreviated (sc).

To begin I created a chain to start and give you a better view of what it would look like. If you need a tutorial on how to create a chain, refer to this earlier tutorial simple chain stitch tutorial.

 Here is the top view of my chain:

 Stick needle through the first stitch (it kind of looks like a "V").

 Yarn over (YO), or wrap the yarn around the needle, and pull through.

 This will give you 2 loops on your needle. YO again, and pull through the two loops.

That is a single crochet. Hope this helps you better understand it!
