Double Crochet

What is a Double Crochet?

The double crochet (dc) is a fundamental stitch in crochet that creates a taller and more open fabric compared to a single crochet. It is a versatile stitch commonly used in many patterns, offering a bit more stretch and drape to your projects.

How to make a Double Crochet?

To make a double crochet, you typically yarn over, insert your hook into the designated stitch, yarn over again, pull up a loop, yarn over once more, and then pull through two loops on the hook twice.

Key Points about Double Crochet:

• It is taller than a single crochet but shorter than a treble crochet.
• Double crochets are often used in projects that require a looser and more breathable fabric.
• They are great for creating texture and lace-like patterns in your crochet work.
