The stitch is worked the same as the regular single crochet, except instead of working into both loops of the previous row, you only crochet into the front loop. This leaves the back loop of the stitch free, which is what gives you a beautiful texture.

The first step to making the front loop single crochet is to insert your hook under the top loop closest to you.
