DOUBLE CROCHET Double crochet is an easy stitch often used for edging knitted garments.

1 To make a double crochet stitch, insert the hook under the top two loops of the first stitch on the previous row.

2 Wind the yarn around the hook and pull it through the stitch, giving you two loops on your crochet hook.

3 Yarn round hook again, then pull the yarn through both loops. You’ve made one double crochet and have a loop on your hook ready for the next stitch.

4 For following rows, turn and make one turning chain. T-ch doesn’t count as a st. Work first dc in the st at base of ch. At end of row work into top of t-ch.
