Photo instructions for how to start a cutlery holder

Round 1

1. Start by making a chain.

2. Next you have to join the chain to its beginning. Make sure it is not twisted and then insert your hook in the first chain of the long chain.

3. Yarn over and pull the yarn through to make a slip stitch.

4. Then chain one. It does not count as a stitch.

5. Next make a single crochet in the next stitch in the back of the chain.

6. Keep making single crochets until the end of the round. When you will get close to the end, it might seem that the chain is twisted, but as you are working in the back of the chain, this is fine.

7. Start making the last single crochet of this round, but stop when you have two loops on your hook. It is also a good idea to count stitches at this point.

8. In this example, the first stitch in the second round should be white. So, take your white yarn and yarn over.

9. Pull the white yarn through both loops on your hook. Now the white yarn is ready to be used.

Round 2

10. Then insert your hook in the top of the first single crochet of the first round grabbing just the back loop. The green yarn should be in front of your hook.

11. Yarn over the white yarn.

12. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook. Then yarn under.

13. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made a modified single crochet. Remember to put a marker in the first stitch of the round and continue following the color chart.
