Techniques review:

Take the shuttle/needle over/under/over to the left, then under/over/under back to the right. Use the point of the shuttle/needle or a crochet hook to move the thread tightly down to the point.


This is an example of encapsulation, where threads are begin covered using the split ring technique.
Josephine Ring/Chain uses sets of half stitches

First half stitch.

Second half stitch.
