2. Insert the hook into the 2nd chain from the hook. ( the 1st chain is the turning chain)
3. Wrap the yarn around the hook, from the back and over the hook.
4. You can insert the hook into both parts of the v or just the top one. ( I like to use just the top part of the v)
5. Holding the foundation chain with your other hand, draw a loop through this chain.
6. There are now 2 loops on the hook.
7. Next yrh and draw a loop through both loops on the hook.
8. As you use the yarn, allow it to flow through the fingers of your free hand, tensioning softly as you work.
9. This completes the 1st Double Crochet.
10. Continue across the foundation chain, working one Double Crochet into each chain in this way.
11. At the end of the row, chain one and turn your work, ready for the next row.
12. This chain brings the work up to the height ready for the next row.
13. Work the 1st Double Crochet into the top of the 1st stitch in the row below.
14. Insert your hook into both parts of the v stitch.
15. Continue this until the end of the row. It is a good idea to count the stitches as you go so you know when you have reached the last stitch.
16. Note- While learning it can be difficult to see the last stitch.
17. At the end of the row, work the last stitch into the top of the last Double Crochet of the row below.
18. Work all following rows in this way.
19. When your piece is complete cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing.
20. Pull up the final loop and remove from the hook, then pass the yarn through this loop and pull to secure.
