Instructions
-
Begin with a row of ch and a row of sc.
- Grasp the yarn with your left hand and, with your right hand, wrap the yarn clockwise around your left index finger to make a loop. Insert the hook into the stitch so there are two loops on the hook. Rotate the hook clockwise — in the opposite direction from the way you usually would — so it goes over the yarn.
- Pass the hook behind the yarn held by your left index finger. Catch both strands with the hook, and pull them both through the stitch. You should now have 3 loops on your hook.
- Yo and pull the strand through all loops on the hook.

Loop Stitch Step 3
This is a more secured and slightly stiffer version of the traditional loop stitch. For the traditional loop stitch, catch and pull only the back loop through the stitch so there are only two loops on the hook at the end of Step 2.
Double Loop Stitch
The double-loop stitch is worked the same as the single loop stitch except the yarn is wrapped around your index finger twice.-
Begin with a row of ch and a row of sc.
- Grasp the yarn with your left hand and, with your right hand, wrap the yarn twice clockwise around your left index finger to make two loops. Insert the hook into the stitch so there are two loops on the hook and rotate the hook clockwise — in the opposite direction of how you usually would — so it goes over the yarn.
- Slip the hook under the loops around your left index finger. Catch all 3 strands with the hook and bring all three strands through the stitch. You should now have 4 loops on your hook.
- Yo and pull the strand through all the loops on the hook.
