Double Crochet (dc) — crochet stitch tutorial
Tall and quick, with a bit of drape. The building block of granny squares and mesh bags.
UK terminology: treble (tr)
How to work it
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the next stitch.
- Yarn over, pull up a loop — 3 loops on the hook.
- Yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops — 2 loops remain.
- Yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops.
Tips
- Follow the pattern's turning-chain rule: ch 3 may count as the first dc, or be an uncounted lift. Do not add an extra stitch.
