 Extra stitch
A very common term in crocheting is the extra stitch.
So what is this loop?

When crocheting, almost always the marker of the beginning of the

round is shifted to the right side. It is necessary to align it. And how to
do it?

You just need to crochet another 1sc at the end of the round and shift
the marker by one stitch.
The second stitch becomes the first and the first becomes the last. This is
the shift (extra) stitch.

And the most important thing! This stitch is not included in crocheting.

Abbreviations:
MR - magic ring
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
hdcinc - half double crochet increase (2 hdc in one stitch)
dc - double crochet
tr - treble crochet
inc - increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec - decrease (2 sc together)
ch - chain
t-ch - turning chain
sl st - slip stitch
Bobble st - crochet the indicated number of TR stitches in one stitch with a common top
BLO - back loops only
(...) - number in brackets means a number of stitches in a round
(...)*N- repeat instruction in brackets N times
