Step 1: Take the tip of the crochet hook and insert it into the center of the upside-down “V” (This may be a little difficult)
Step 2: Yarn over the hook

Step 5: Pull the yarn through both loops creating one loop

How do you start with a chain a row of single crochet.?
Johnny Vasquez
I’m not sure I understand you question. You’ll need to do a foundation chain which is a just a row of chain stitches. Then for this stitch, you’ll do a row of single crochet into each chain stitch. Then you’ll start the split single crochet pattern.
Does that help?

OOOOH! I really like this stitch! (Though it’ll take forever to get anywhere with it, the fact that it comes out the same on both sides is very cool!)
