Insert the crochet hook into the center of the ring, catch the yarn from the ball and pull it through the ring. Wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it through the loop on your hook. Make seven more single crochet into the ring. Hold the stitches firmly between your thumb and forefinger and pull the end of the yarn to tighten the ring.
