There are actually several different types of loop stitches, and they all work a little differently. Chain Stitch The simplest loop stitch is the chain stitch. To sew a chain stitch, the sewing machine loops a single length of thread back on itself.
In order to save space, certain words in a crochet pattern are usually abbreviated. The abbreviation for the chain stitch is ch, or sometimes chs for the plural form. You'll usually see ch followed by a number -- for example, ch 135; this would mean that you should crochet 135 chain stitches.n order to save space, certain words in a crochet pattern are usually abbreviated.
