Friend! Are you as excited as I am that you’re here? I’m so proud of you for conquering single crochets! Today we are moving onto double crochet(DC). A double crochet(DC) is basically 2 single crochets(SC) on top of each other.

To get started attach your yarn to your crochet hook and chain(CH) 12.

Your going to start by yarning over(wrapping the yarn around your hook) then inserting your hook into the 3rd chain(CH).

Yarn over and draw up through the chain(CH) space.

You should now have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw through 2 of the loops on your hook.

With 2 remaining loops on your hook, yarn over and draw through both loops.

You just created a double crochet(DC)! Repeat- Yarn over, insert your hook into the chain space, draw up a loop. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops again. You have a double crochet(DC). Continue double crocheting(DC) all the way to the end, for a total of 10 double crochets(DC). Chain(CH) 2 and turn. Practice double crocheting(DC) across each row until you feel comfortable learning a new stitch.
