The saint used such method to clear a land occupied by those little animals so an abbey could be built in there.

STACKED SINGLE CROCHET

When starting the row in double crochet you can chain 2 (counts as the first stitch) or work a stacked single crochet that mimics the look of the double crochet and creates a nice clean edge throughout your work. 

The steps to work the stacked single crochet are:

Turn the work, DO NOT chain at the beginning of the row. Insert your hook into the first back bump,

and make a single crochet.

Insert your hook into the vertical bar below, YO and pull up a loop, 

 YO and pull through both loops on the hook, stacked single crochet is finished.

WET BLOCKING METHOD

The blocking technique is a finish step for some crochet items or pieces. After washing or wetting the piece, you achieve the final item’s proper shape by gently stretching or pinning it. Once the piece is dry it will remain in that shape. I never use stiffer, raw material looses touch and natural texture, this is an essential part of  the final product beauty to me. 

Step 01. Hand wash using cold water and a bit of soap.

Step 02. Drain without wringing, use a towel to remove water out.

Step 03. Place the garment with the right side up over a foam surface or use a table covered with a towel. 

Step 04. Adjust the piece to desired shape and let it dry naturally. No need to pin.
