Crochet Stitch Guides
| Stitch | Steps | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Single Crochet (sc) | Insert hook into stitch → Yarn over → Pull up loop → Yarn over → Pull through both loops. | Basic building block of crochet; creates dense fabric. |
| Slip Stitch (sl st) | Insert hook into stitch → Yarn over → Pull through stitch and loop on hook. | Very flat stitch; used for joining or moving yarn. |
| Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog) | Insert hook into next stitch → Yarn over → Pull up loop → Insert into following stitch → Yarn over → Pull up loop → Yarn over → Pull through all 3 loops. | Combines 2 stitches into 1; reduces stitch count. |
| Back Loop Only Single Crochet (BLO sc) | Insert hook only into back loop → Yarn over → Pull up loop → Yarn over → Pull through both loops. | Creates ribbed/flexible texture; leaves front loop unworked. |
