Set-up (slip knot)

• Make a loop in the end of the yarn, leaving a few extra cm/inches.
• Slide the hook inside this loop, hook pointing down.
• Pass the yarn (that's still connected to the skein) over the top and then under the hook.

• Pull the yarn through the loop by pulling the hook from left to right.
  
• Gently tighten the slip knot on the hook.

Yarn over (yo), to make a new loop

• Take the yarn attached to the skein.
  
  
• Place it over and then under the hook.
  
• If making a new loop, pull it from left to right through the previous loop to form new loop.

Chain (ch)

• Yarn over hook.
  
• Use hook to pull the yarn through the loop.

Slip stitch (sl. st.)

• Pass the hook through the previous stitch.
  
• Yarn over.
  
• Use the hook to pull the yarn through the stitch and the loop that's on the hook in 1 motion.

Double crochet (dc, British)/Single croch

et (sc, American)

• Pass the hook through the previous stitch.

• Yarn over.
  
• Pull the yarn through the base stitch (A).
  
• Yarn over again.
  
• Pull the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook (B).

Half treble crochet (htr, British)/Half double crochet (hdc, American)

• At the beginning of the row, skip 2 sts.
• *Yarn over (A).

• Pass the hook through the previous stitch (remember to skip 2 sts.).
  
• Yarn over again.
  
• Pull the yarn through the 1st loop.
  
• Yarn over again (B).
  
• Pull the yarn through the 3 loops (C)*.
• Repeat from * to * to make another half treble crochet/half double crochet.

Treble crochet (tr, British)/Double crochet (dc, American)

Work in the round

• Make a chain of the number of sts. indicated in your pattern.
  
• Connect the last stitch to the first with a slip stitch.
  
• The ring is formed (A).
  ! - Each round starts with some chain stitches to bring the hook to the level of the new round to be worked.
  
• For the first round, pass the hook directly through the ring and not in any of the links of the chain.
  
• For the following rounds, pass the hook in the top of the preceding row's stitches.
• At the end of each round, pass the hook through the 1st stitch of that row and make a slip stitch.
  ! - Pieces worked in the round can't be turned inside out. The work is done only on the right side.
