CROCHET 101, HOW TO MAKE A DOUBLE CROCHET STITCH

Off we go, you have learned how to chain stitch, and single crochet from my previous posts... now you can make the double crochet.

The double crochet is a tall stitch, and gives you much mileage for little effort.  To make a double crochet stitch, wind the yarn around the hook one time, then insert the hook through the next stitch, and pull the yarn through.
You will then have 3 loops on the hook, so you again pick up the yarn, and pull it through 2 stitches.  You will have 2 stitches remaining, so pick up the yarn, and pull it through 2 loops again.  Voila!  You just made a double crochet stitch.  Would you like to watch it being made?  Check the link below this photo.
Watch me do it now, right here on my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj0uoy27i3w
