Extra stitch

A very common term in crocheting is the extra stitch.

So what is this loop?

When crocheting, almost always the marker of the beginning of the round
is shifted to the right side. It is necessary to align it. And how to do it?

You just need to crochet another 1sc at the end of the round and shift the
marker by one stitch.
The second stitch becomes the first and the first becomes the last. This is
the bias loop.

And the most important thing! This stitch is not included in crocheting.

Abbreviations

MR - magic ring
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
inc - increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec- decrease (2 sc together)
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
(...) - number in brackets means a number of stitches in a round
(...)*N- repeat instruction in brackets N times

WISH YOU A PLEASANT CROCHETING!

This pattern is designed for people who already have basic crochet skills.
