Morphology
The meaning 'to make fabric using the single crochet stitch' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'single' (one/one-unit) with 'crochet' (to make textiles by forming loops). It is a straightforward modifier + verb construction specifying the type of crochet technique, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the general meaning even if they lack technical procedural knowledge.
Etymology
Single crochet is the name of a very simple stitch used in crochet. The hook pulls the yarn through one small loop at a time, so single means 'one' and crochet is the craft with a hook, which is why the phrase means the basic stitch.
