Hook yarn and bring through loop (Fig. C), reach again for yarn and bring through stitch on hook (Fig. D).

To position crochet hook for next step, leave hook in stitch, and flip handle of hook through to back of fork (Fig. E), then turn fork ½ turn to left, making new loop of yarn over loop (Fig F).

Insert hook under first complete loop at left of knot, under both strands of yarn (Fig. G), pick up yarn with hook and bring through loop. Reach again for yarn and bring through both stitches on hook (makes a single crochet).
Repeat steps 3 & 4 for desired number of loops. Count loops carefully, being sure same number is on each leg of loom. To finish off, cut yarn leaving 6 inches, draw through last stitch. Remove bottom bar from loom and slide entire strip off.
