Occasionally, in a pattern, you’ll read the instruction ‘attach with a sc’. What does this mean? I’ll tell you!
Attach with a single crochet
This technique is used to attach a new yarn to an existing crocheted work. It’s used in the doll patterns to attach a piece of clothing like a dress or a sleeve. You might also use it to attach a foot to a slug, prickles to a hedgehog, a mane to a lion, and more.
Here’s how to do it. Begin with a slipknot on your hook:
Now, just pretend this loop is any ol’ loop! Insert your hook into the indicated stitch on your crocheted fabric:
And then crochet as instructed!
Hooray!

Crochet an adorably cuddly hound dog. Get the pattern here.
I want to do doll along…
Pooh! Ravelry! I’d better keep up or I miss the fun stuff!
Yup… we’re a fast moving bunch! 🙂
Thanks for this! Could you also do an ‘added’ to this on how to attach a single crochet within a space (instead of attach to stitch, as above)? The attach within a space (like you would do for a granny square) can be a bit more confusing. Many thanks for all your wonderful posts!!
Thank you for that suggestion!
