The double crochet is the next stitch to learn as you are building your skills. It is the next stitch in height after the half double crochet (HDC) stitch.
Double Crochet is one of the most popular crochet stitches because it creates a crochet fabric with a great drape. The fabric made is fairly solid, but not too dense or stiff. It is frequently used for shawls, wraps and even sweaters.
The abbreviation for the double crochet (US terms) is DC. Note that the double crochet is known as a treble crochet (tr) in UK terms.
Here are the steps to create a Double Crochet Stitch:
Step 1: yarn over, insert hook into the next stitch (remember to go through both loops of the 'v')
Step 2: yarn over, and pull a loop (you will have 3 loops on your hook)
Step 3: yarn over, and pull through two loop on the hook (you will now have two loop on your hook)
Step 4: yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook (you will be left with one loop on the hook)
And your double crochet stitch is complete!
