5 Yarn over the crochet hook again and pull this new loop through both loops
already on the hook.


6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 across the edge. Cut the yarn and pull it through the
last loop to finish the edging.


Single crochet provides a neat, firm edge that is a little more substantial than a
slip stitch edge. You work this edging from right to left.


Crochet instructions indicate single crochet by using the abbreviation scfollowed
by the number of single crochet stitches you should make.


1 Choose a crochet hook that is one or two sizes smaller than the needles
used for your knitting. Insert the hook into your knitting at the right corner
of the edge.


2 Loop the yarn around the hook (yarn over) and pull the loop through.


3 Working from the front, yarn over and pull a new loop through the first loop.
