   • Wrap the thread and pull towards you.You should have two loops on your hook.
     
   • Wrap the thread and pass it through both loops.

Advice

• You don't have to only use single crochets.Other stitches can also be used (for example double crochets).Try to change stitches every round.
• To understand where the loop ends, place something that indicates where you started.

  Curving upwards
  To give a three-dimensional curved shape (for example, to make the crown of a hat), do not increase for a few rounds.
