This is a great resource but did you know that there are extended versions of each of these stitches?
These extended versions are slightly taller than the non-extended versions but shorter than the next longer stitch. They are made by starting the same way as the normal stitch, pull through, yo, then pull through only one loop on the hook, yo, then continue making the stitch as usual. This is also true for single crochet and half double crochet.
Below are examples of each stitch and followed by instructions on how to make each extended stitch. If you discard the part of each instruction in italics, you'll be making the "normal" stitch. Check out the Moogly page for a video on making the normal stitches.
