When you crochet in rows, you always work in one direction. So each time you reach the end of a row, you turn your work before carrying on. This guide walks you through how.
How to turn your work

Step-by-step instructions
Make a turning chain (ch):
At the end of the row, yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to make one chain (ch).
Turn your work:
Flip your piece like turning the page of a book, so the fabric moves to the other side of the loop on your hook.
Your hook is now back at the start, ready to work the next row.
Find the next stitch:
Look for the V-shaped stitches along the top edge. Insert your hook under both top loops of the first stitch and work across the new row.
Keep going:
Crochet across the row as your pattern says, then repeat these same steps each time you start a new row.
That's a turn! Once you've done it a couple of times it becomes second nature, and your rows will start to stack up evenly. We're right here with you every step of the way.
You've got it when: Your turning chain sits neatly at the edge and your first stitch lands in the right place.
