Extra stitch

A very common term in crocheting is the extra (shift) 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 extra stitch.
And the most important thing! This stitch is not included in crocheting.
