The Double Crochet Stitch

How to make the double crochet stitch

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay on this. I got a little sidetracked with a new project that I am forgetting to document for you guys. Anyway, this post is going to be all about the double crochet stitch (abbreviated dc). I'm using blue yarn for this as it pleasantly co-insides with this new project I'm working on.

1. First thing to do is to start with your beginning chain stitch. Once you're at your desired length, add three more chain stitches.

2. Yarn over the hook, insert your hook into the 4th chain stitch from your hook, yarn over the hook and pull the yarn through.

3. You should now have three loops on your hook.

4. Yarn over the hook and gently pull it through the first two loops on your hook.

5. Yarn over again and pull that loop through the two remaining loops on you hook.

Steps 1-5

You've successfully completed your first double crochet stitch.

Finished double crochet stitch

Repeat these steps until you get to the last chain stitch.

Turn your work, chain three and yarn over. You want to skip the very first stitch in the row directly below your turning chain, so insert the hook into the next stitch.

Repeat the double stitch pattern. You'll want your last double crochet stitch to be in the top chain of the previous rows turning chain.

Chain three and voila!

Keep doing this until your work is complete!
