On Today's Video Chat we are discussing
"How and When to chain, single Crochet
in the 2nd chain from the hook."

1. How to Single Crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook.

Let's say your pattern reads,
"ch 9, turn, 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook,
1 sc in each ch across. (8sc)

So you will chain 9 chs, next you will turn your work,
you skip the 1st chain, and begin stitching in the next chain,
which is the 2nd chain from the hook.

We do this because the 1st chain is acting as our turning chain.
A Turning Chain is just a chain we do when stitching single Crochets in rows.

We stitch the row, then Turn and Ch1
This makes the rows turn nicely and smoothly

2. When to Single Crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook.

For most Patterns, you will use this method when stitching
single crochet rows. Some Beginning rounds as well.

3. When Not to Single Crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook.

As a rule, with most Amigurumi projects you will begin
stitching in the first chain, because you are stitching in
continuous rounds.

Sometimes a pattern designer will have you do some other method, so be sure to follow the directions given by the pattern designer.
If you have questions, be sure to ask the pattern designer.
