How To Make A Double Crochet – Basic Stitches


At the end of the 8 part tutorial, you will be able to crochet the basic stitches, do a slip knot, chain and make a magic ring.

Last time I showed you 

1. How to make a magic ring

2. How to make a slip knot and crochet the chain stitch

3. How to crochet the slip stitch

4. How to crochet the single crochet stitch

5. How to crochet the half double crochet stitch

Today you will learn how to crochet the double crochet stitch.

The double crochet stitch is one of the most common basic stitches, it is taller than the half double crochet and because of that, your project works up faster.

Below you will find the written tutorial with step-by-step instructions and photos and a short video that shows you in detail how to make the double crochet stitch.
