Extended Single Crochet Stitch

The extended single crochet stitch is a gorgeous and easy variation of the single crochet. It gives a bit of a twist to the classic single crochet. Not only that, but gives you a way to expand your skills as a crochet artist. This little change in how to make the regular single crochet gives it a whole new look as well.
