   Insert the crochet hook through the ring. Which ring to choose depends partially on your model, but in a basic point it should be the next one or the one after that.You can identify the rings by laying the work flat and looking for ridges along the top edge.The hook should go in from the front and out from the back of the ring.

   Guess the right number of chain stitches. If you are starting from scratch, you will need to chain before moving on to single crochet.First, you will need to chain with the number of single crochets you want to create, plus one or two, depending on how thick the thread is.Figure out how many you need and keep going.

   Make a noose. To create the chain, first make a loop and insert the hook through the ring.
3. 
   3
   Hold the crochet hook in one hand and the working thread, the one towards the skein in the other.
4. 
   4
   Wrap the yarn around the hook once in a back-to-front motion. The thread should go back behind the hook.
5. 
   5
   Pull the hook through the loop, taking the newly wrapped yarn behind you. Here the first stitch of the chain has been created and a new ring has been obtained around the crochet hook.
6.

   Repeat, wrapping the yarn and pulling the hook until you have the desired number of stitches.
