In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the two single crochet stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a center single crochet (it is a single crochet made in the center of the stitch in the previous row) working in continuous rounds and in rows. When you work in rounds, it is a repeat of one round. If you want to work in rows, you have to cut the yarn at the end of every row, don’t turn your work around and work in the same direction from the beginning. When working in rows, this stitch is a repeat of three rows. The two single crochet stitch looks great when you use more than one color.
