I love the look of this headband, but was confused by the stitch until I found your YouTube short showing how to do the two stitches. https://youtube.com/shorts/79XHDmOJKo0?si=4tlnfAHYdnuNL7CU
This “yarn front single crochet” baffles me, also. I also Googled and find nothing. Is there a tutorial video available for this pattern?
This YouTube Short by the designer should help! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/79XHDmOJKo0
Are the first two stitches of row 2 worked into the same (one) stitch?
You are working a regular sc stitch with the yarn held in front of your hook before you work the stitch.
I do not understand yarn front single crochet, I made search in Google and nothing….
