Basic Stitches

Before you begin crocheting, it is important to be familiar with the basic stitches. The two most common stitches used in crochet earflap hats are the single crochet (sc) and the double crochet (dc). To make a sc, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull the yarn through the stitch. To make a dc, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull the yarn through the stitch, yarn over again, and pull the yarn through the two loops on your hook.
