Stepper motor driver using PIC16f627a without driver chip

Hi there

I'd like to know if anyone has a simple schematic to connect a stepper motor to a microcontroller. I'm a little new to electronics and would also appreciate a simple explanation on how stepper motor works. Is it possible to connect a stepper motor to a pic16f627a without the driver chip or is there an alternative circuit I can build?

I have a 12V, 6 Ohm stepper motor with 4 wires (red, yellow, brown, black - the red and yellow wires have continuity and the brown and black wires as well).

thanks in advance
