Look down at the top edge of the work. It should look like a braid, with a front row of loops and a back row of loops. The front loops and back loops
line up with each other in pairs, and each set of loops counts as one stitch. The arrows in the photo below indicate one stitch.
When working stitches on a beginning chain, the hook is inserted in the back loop of the braid to both loops of the braid unless otherwise indicated in
the pattern.
Sometimes when using very textured yarn or eyelash yarn, it becomes difficult to see the stitches you have worked. In this case, it may be helpful to
hold the work up to the light to make the stitches and rows more apparent.
