The Extended Single Crochet (esc or exsc) is a really great entry-level stitch to have in your repertoire. This stitch is easy to learn how to make and is very beginner-friendly! As the name mentions, it is basically a single crochet with a little more height added to it. In my personal opinion, this often forgotten about stitch, is much more pretty than the standard single crochet. For those visual learners, I have also created a video tutorial on YouTube for extra help!
