Making a Chain

Start with a slip knot.

Hold the yarn in your left hand and the hook in your right. Hold the tail end of the yarn between your ring finger and thumb on your left hand close top the crochet hook to create the tension needed to crochet. Wrap the ball end of the yarn over the hook.

Pull the yarn and the hook through the loop on your hook.

Repeat until you have made the number of chains you need.
