The chain is the beginning to almost every project and is
used throughout all patterns. By making a beginning chain you are essentially
making loops to work your rows on, much like casting on in knitting. This is
also a good stitch to practice your gauge with.
Other abbreviations you will need to know: yo (yarn over)
this means you wrap your working yarn around your hook, always from left to
right bringing the yarn over the front of your hook or rather mover your hook
to catch the yarn.
yo, draw through loop on hook, one chain is made.

| Yarn Over |

| Draw through loop on hook |
 |
| One chain is made |

Repeat continuously for practice or for as many chains as needed in a project.

Tip: When you yarn over, turn your needle to catch the upper hook on the yarn you are pulling through-that’s what it’s there for.
