Detailed Guide for Difficult Stitches

Front Loop Only (FLO) Single Crochet: Insert your hook under the front loop only of the designated stitch (leaving the back loop unworked), yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook. This technique is used to create sharp turns and structural edges, such as when starting the brim of the witch’s hat.
