Single, half double, double crochet and tripple crochet are the basic stitches. There are many other stitches that can be created with those such as the shell (made with double crochet). Most of the stitches call for double crochet or single crochet.

There are dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of different stitches, each with their own symbols. You can quickly find a chart with a search, but for the basic stitches you would use a small oval for a chain, a dot for a slip stitch, an x or cross for a single crochet. A double crochet is a tall T with a diagonal line in the center of the length. A triple crochet would be made just like the double crochet but have two diagonal lines instead of one.

How do you crochet with your finger?

To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch. I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches. Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.
