Hi, I have been trying to learn how to single crochet for almost 2 weeks now, but no matter what I do, the square I'm trying to make has millions of holes, not a nice neat piece like I see in the hundreds of tutorials I have watched. Ugh. I have cheap average yarn, and have been using the 5mm, 6mm and 7mm hooks but each produced these dreaded holes. I squeeze the hook under the top 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops on hook, yarn over again and pull through the last loop on hook. Am I supposed to only yarn over once, or is this a different technique, slip stitching possibly? Thanks for any assistance, I really want to get this right before moving on, please refer to the attached pic to see the holes.

Hi all! I'm currently writing up a quick start guide for anyone who wishes to learn crochet linking to all the resources I found useful when I was teaching myself. I learned primarily from Bella Coco (youtube), Wiki how and Craftsy. I'd love to to hear all your favourite online resources for beginners so I can make this a really useful hub for anyone learning how to crochet. Where did you first learn the basics? Who are favourite youtubers and bloggers? Are there any books or other physical resource that have really helped you out? Thanks!
