Double Crochet Stitch {DC}

The double crochet stitch works very fast and is super easy to learn. Its is taller than both the single crochet and half double crochet but shorter than the treble crochet . This stitch comes second to the half double crochet in my basic stitches favorite list.

This pattern is written in US terminology and the same stitch is referred to as the treble stitch in UK terminology.

Row 1.

Skip the first 2 chains (these will not count as a stitch),*yarn over, Insert hook in the next chain, Yarn over and pull through the chain (you’ll have 3 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops, Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops.*
