"Alright. So as I said before, take the needle in your right hand and the yarn in your left. Wrap the yarn around your left pointer finger, wrapping away from you. You can wrap it about 3 times. One, two, three. And hold it in between your pointer and thumb finger. Now this loop should be about as big as your thumb nail. And to begin, you start off with a single row so as to crochet off of. Now take the needle and place it in the loop. Come around and wrap the yarn around the needle. Or bring the hook to the yarn. So you can either bring the hook to the yarn and pull it through or you can wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it through. And thats how you start crocheting."
