 Extra (shift) 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.

Bobble st - crochet unfinished dc stitches in one stitch of the
