Step 2: Beginning with the second chain stitch from you hook. Insert your hook into the chain stitch. Yarn over and pull through the chain stitch. You should have two loops on your hook now.
Step 3: Yarn over again. Now you will pull the yarn with your hook through BOTH loops. This should leave only one loop on your hook.
