hook from loop.
_Step 3:_ Insert hook in dropped loop from back (illustration #4) turn
loom toward you from right to left, passing yarn around back of loom,

(Note: If easier for you, do not drop hook from loop before turning, but
pass shank of crochet hook through to back of loom and then turn and
proceed as in step 3 after turn.)
