1 – Start by winding the end of the yarn into a tiny “e” shape. This way the yarn coming from the ball of yarn should cross the loose end, I recommend holding it in your hand when making this initial loop
2 – Now while you hold the loop in place, you should pass the hook between the middle of the circle. The next step is to wrap the working wire over the hook from back to front. You will notice that this is exactly as simple as any other.

3 – In the next step you will insert the yarn through the circle. This may seem a bit awkward at first because the circle is not yet formed and loose. Now you hold the cross stitch of the circle while you draw the loop of yarn and it will hold.

4 – Now you begin to form a chain stitch, you will continue to hold the circle of yarn while you make a spinning chain, backstitch to front.

5 – When you complete the chain stitch you will pass the needle through the loop on the needle so you have just completed your first chain stitch.

This step is the first chain of the swivel that needs only one chain stitch, to start another stitch, use as many chains as needed to form a swivel chain with this size stitch.
