Step 5: Pull yarn through the 2 loops on the hook (one single crochet completed). Working your way across a row, repeat steps 1 - 5 for each additional single crochet that you wish to make.
When you have reached the end of a row, to begin a second row in single crochet, chain 1, to turn, then single crochet in each single crochet across the row. Easy Single Crochet Scarf Free Pattern and Beginner's Dishcloth Free Pattern are good first patterns for learning about rows of single crochet.
