Learning to crochet: the chain stitch

The chain stitch is essential when learning to crochet, as it is the basis of every crochet work. The thread of the yarn is placed over the left index finger from the right and wrapped around once. Hold the end with your thumb and forefinger. Now form a loop with the yarn. Now use the crochet hook. Insert it through the loop from the back to the front. Use the needle to pull the thread through the loop to create a new loop. Repeat this process several times.

It may be difficult at first, especially for those who consider themselves beginners in crochet. That's why the video shows you how to crochet chain stitches easily.
