Chain Stitch

What is a Chain Stitch?

A chain stitch, aka ch, is the foundation of most crochet projects. It is a series of interlocking loops that form a chain-like structure. This stitch is essential as it sets the stage for the rest of your crocheting project.

How to Make a Chain Stitch

1. Start with a slip knot on your crochet hook.
2. Yarn over and draw through the loop on the hook to create your first chain stitch.
3. Repeat this process to create a chain of stitches.
