I have a new pattern up for sale in my Etsy Shop for a Stocking Ornament .  In this pattern, I use the loop stitch for a few rnds.  I also use the loop stitch quite a bit in my Horse Pattern .  This stitch can be a little bit tricky, and since I am using it more and more in my patterns, I decided that I would add a step by step picture tutorial to my blog.  This stitch is an advanced stitch, and can sometimes be very frustrating when you are first learning.  Don't be disappointed if it takes a while to get it down, just keep practicing! In my patterns, I abbreviate this stitch as LSsc (which means Loop Stitch Single Crochet) I used DK weight yarn and a size G hook, but be sure to use the yarn and hook that your crochet pattern calls for.  For this tutorial, I crocheted a half circle in a teal color, and changed the loop stitches to a red color so that it would be easy to see and follow. Please note that there are a lot of different ways to crochet a...
