Crochet help: what does it mean to pull up a loop?

I'm working on a baby blanket. Part of the instructions say: "YO, insert hook in last st made, YO and pull up a loop, YO and draw through two loops on hook, YO," etc. I know all the basic stitches, but I still don't understand what they mean when they ask to pull up a loop. Is it a really dumb way of saying you're working with the back or front? Any help or know what they're talking about?

Yo= means "Yarn over" this means pull up a loop on your hook. If your making a dc or a hdc but when making a sc you dont yo. when you start to crochet you make a loop to insert your hook into right? then you chain the stitches you need so each time you pick up the yarn with your hook it means pull up a loop. whether your making a half double crochet or a double crochet or a slip stitch. search for some basic crochet tips on video or write help on the Internet by simply typing basic crochet stitches %26amp; look at a few of thel inks. search on your favorite browser google or yahoo.

Reply:This means to grab the yarn with your hook(after inserting it through a stitch) and to pull it back through the stitch to make an additional loop. I hope that helps.
Reply:this means you put the hook in the stich yarn over and pull the yarn back threw the stich. yhe yarn that you just pulled threw is the loop. then you yarn over and pull threw both loops. (sounds like a single crochet to me but i dont know what was before it)
