In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to double crochet. In a pattern, this will probably be abbreviated as ‘dc’. Double crochet creates stitches with nice tall posts. It’s one of the basic crochet stitches.
Double Crochet Instructions
- Before inserting the hook into the top of the stitches or chain you’re working into, yarn over so you have two loops on your hook to begin with.
- Now, insert hook into the top of the stitches or chain you’re working into and yarn over.
- Pull through the top of the stitch or chain. This creates an extra, third loop on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull it through the first two loops on the hook. You should now have two loops on the hook.
- Yarn over again and pull it through these two loops.
And that’s how you double crochet! If you need some other help getting started crocheting, check out this crochet lesson here. Or you can learn other basic crochet stitches here.
