How to do a Double Crochet Stitch


Step 1: Wrap your yarn around your hook.


Step 2: Insert your crochet hook into either the top loop of a chain or into your last stitch. 


Step 3: Wrap your yarn around your hook. Turn your hook 180 degrees so it is facing down. Make sure the yarn around your hook is in the hook part of your hook.


Step 4: Pull your yarn through the stitch you are working into, but not the loop on your hook. You should have 3 loops on your hook. 



Step 5: Wrap your yarn around your hook again and repeat step 3. This time, pull your yarn through 2 loops on your hook. You should have 2 loops left on your hook. 


Step 6: Wrap your yarn around your hook again. Pull your yarn through the 2 remaining loops on your hook.



Tip: Make sure you aren't pulling your yarn extremely tight. I normally tell new crocheters that it is better to work with loose work than tight work. If you're pulling your yarn tight, it will be hard to insert your hook into your work as you continue on. Over time, you'll learn the consistency of how tight to hold your yarn.
