In this step-by-step tutorial I show how to make the lemon peel stitch. This stitch is very easy to make and it is great for beginners because it consists of a single crochet and a double crochet. The pattern is a repeat of one row. This crochet stitch is reversible and looks the same on both sides.
You can take a look at my other tutorials for stitches here.

2. So, insert your hook in the second chain from your hook (in the back of the chain).
3. Yarn over.
4. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

6. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made a single crochet.
