Shepherd or Single Crochet

This stitch is usually worked round, for Cuffs, Muffatees, Boots, &c. &c.

Make a chain, join it, keep the loop on the needle.

1st round—Put the needle in the 1st chain stitch, draw the wool through; there will now be 2 loops on the needle; draw the last loop through the 1st.

In the 2nd and following rounds, take the 1st part of the chain on the needle.
