Hi! I'm Robin with trees-mom.com. We're making a video today for Expert Village. We're crocheting wire to make a Christmas bracelet. We've just finished our row. I'm putting the last stitch in our first row. This is what we've got so far. Now, we are going to go back the other way. The easiest way to do that is to put the chain stitch that you've already done over the top of your hand. Hold on to it with your thumb and your first finger on the loop that you just barely crocheted. Then you're going to go into the next one. Not the one you just crocheted, but the next one over. You grab the wire, pull it through the first loop, and now you have 2 loops on your crochet hook. You're going to grab another thing of wire on your hook, and then pull it through both looks. Then you're back to one loop on your crochet hook. Then you go into the next one. You grab wire and pull it through the loop. You have the 2 loops on your crochet hook. You grab some more wire and then pull it through both loops. You do that all the way to the end of your chain stitch.
