Melissa at The Wool and The Floss demonstrates chain stitch.
This is perfect for lettering, for outlines, and for items like belts on a design. I've found that keeping the loops even by counting over the same number of holes for each stitch keeps the chain even, assuming that's the look you want.
By the way, chain stitch in a thicker thread makes a great wicker basket.
