Hi Lilly, yes it is under the 2 loops of the sc. Take a look at this tutorial: Crochet in Front, Back or Both Loops.

After a row of sc is completed on the starting chain and you want to do another row of sc, precisely where on the sc row do you insert the crochet hook? Is it under the 2 loops on the top of the sc??

Thanks,
Lilly

There are five stitches in the pic I was referring to. And using a stitch marker is also a great idea!!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rachel! The problem I’m having is knowing where to start and stop counting. In the picture you are referring to is that 6 visible stitches or 5? Do I count that furthest one over on the right? I’ve been looking in other forums and someone suggested using a stitch marker when I do my turns. I’m hoping that will solve this problem….? I’m not sure why I can’t seem to get my rows right.

Hi Heather, when you do a row of single crochets you should start by chaining 1 first. This will ensure that the beginning of your row is the same height as the rest of your row. To count the stitches, try counting the number of sideways “V” shapes that are created on the top of the row, because each time you make a stitch it will make that sideways “V” shape on the top. If you don’t know what I mean I say “V” shape, take a look at the first pic in this post: http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-in-front-back-or-both-loops/ The V is created by the front and back loop of the stitch.
