Stitches You need to know
SC
HDC
DC
FPDC front post double crochet
Bead stitch in this pattern=DC, YO and insert hook from front behind post of the DC, yo and loosely pull up a loop, yo and loosely pull up a loop, 5 times total, until you have 11 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through 10 loops, yo and pull through the last 2 loops.
HDC in back and third loop=Crochet in back and third loop (insert your hook into back loop, tilt your work toward you and you will see a smaller half bar/loop underneath. Insert your hook into that stitch as well. This gives your stitch a little bit more stability than using back loop only.)
FPEDC, front post extended double crochet
