Hi Frances, I wish you had found the tutorial more helpful. I did include this in the written instructions: How To:
A: Holding your yarn end and your crochet hook in your right hand (keeping the tail beneath your finger to hold the yarn in place), wrap the yarn counter-clockwise around the hook, two times. Note: I use my middle finger to hold those two loops in place while I begin the stitch. Insert your hook into the first stitch of the row/round. Yarn over the hook and pull up a loop. Three loops left on the hook.
I am happy you were able to find a video tutorial to help 🙂
All the best,
Rhondda

WAIT. Just realised I’d made a starting loop. I’m an idiot. I ended up seeing a video tutorial on YouTube though.
Frances says
This took me a while to understand, because you didn’t specify to wrap the yarn-end around the hook, or in what direction down the shaft of the hook to do so. The pictures don’t really clear it up either. I worked it out, but lesser people would have given up in frustration. Great stitch though.

How have I not seen this until today? Where have I been? Has my personal computer gremlin been hiding things from me again? When I catch that little stinker, he’s in for a serious drubbing! I knew, I just KNEW, that there was a way to do this that was simple and uncomplicated! I haven’t been crocheting very long and I went straight from learning the basics to making my own designs for simple things like afghan, scarves, headbands, purses, totes, and market bags. Lol! I am a dyed in the lot rule hater and even when I do try to follow a pattern, I always have at LEAST one idea to change, alter or improve it. I’m sure that I’ve reinvented the wheel a multitude of times! I also hate, with an absolute passion, the chain 3( or 2 or 4…..) used for this purpose. I’ve tried a few other things that I’ve happened across but they never looked quite right. This is it, girl! This is the bomb! Thanks so much! You’re, officially, my new, favorite person!
