To make Roll Stitch:
Wrap yarn over hook the required number of times, according to instructions in pattern you are working, keeping yarn high on the hook to make the loops loose enough to draw hook through. Insert hook in desired st, yo, draw lp through st, yo, draw through all except last lp on hook (draw out to 1/2, 3/4, or 1 inch, according to pattern used), yo, through 2.
This is not a difficult stitch and a little practice will prove it. The beauty of the stitch will pay you for the practice.
NOTE: Roll stitch is always made from the front, or right side of work.
