How to Crochet a Chain

This article will teach you how to begin any crocheted project. The chain is the foundation of any project you may build.

Steps

 * 1) Tie a slipknot in the beginning of your yarn strand.
 * 2) Put loop onto your crochet hook.
 * 3) Wrap yarn once over hook in front of the loop.
 * 4) Pull new loop through first loop on the hook.
 * 5) Repeat until chain becomes the desired length.
 * 6) Cut yarn about two inches after the hook.
 * 7) Pull the strand through the last loop and pull tight, this is called finishing off. (In an actual pattern, you would not finish off unless the pattern told you to.)
