How to make a Split Single Crochet Stitch

This video and picture tutorial explains how to make a split single crochet stitch. The split single crochet stitch is created in the same way as a single crochet. The difference is where you place your hook to start the stitch. As you can see from the photo, the stitch makes rows of "V"s.

The photo above shows where you would normally put a single crochet stitch. This is NOT where the split single crochet goes. See the next photo.

In the photo above, you put your hook through the middle of the previous stitch. In this case, I have the last row of Split Single Crochet, so I put my hook in the middle of the "V" from the previous row. So, put your hook through the middle of the previous stitch.

Then continue with your normal single crochet by yarn over.

Pull your hook through.

Yarn over again.

And then pull through once more. You have completed the split single crochet. Notice that you have rows of "V"s.
