Crochet lesson 3- Double Crochet

Now that you can single crochet with no problem (as you learned in lesson 2) lets move on to the double crochet "DC"


Here are the basic steps for working a double crochet
~ yarn over hook
~ insert hook into specified stitch
~ yarn over hook, pull up a loop through stitch (you now have 3 loops on hook)
~ yarn over hook, pull through 2 loops (you now have 2 loops on hook)
~ yarn over hook, pull through 2 loops
And you now have completed a double crochet..
Here is the video for a double crochet

The double crochet is used very often. It is a larger stitch that alows foaster working times, plus it always looks very clean and nice. You will find this stitch in almost every pattern that you work.
