Learn to Crochet The Double Crochet Video Tutorial, Step by Step Guide with Pictures, and Stitch Pattern
Want to learn to crochet the double crochet? Learn it here with a video tutorial, step by step guide with pictures, stitch pattern, and a pattern for starting rows of double crochet from a chain.
The double crochet is one of the 5 basic crochet stitches I would recommend learning as a beginner. If you are a beginner learning to crochet, I would recommend first learning the single crochet, and then meeting me over here to learn the double crochet. Other basic crochet stitches to learn are the slip stitch, the half double crochet and the treble crochet. The difference between these basic crochet stitches is height. The slip stitch is shortest, and the treble crochet is the tallest.

The Slip Stitch
The Double Crochet is a beautiful stitch in its own right, and is also very helpful to know as you learn other more complex stitches. The double crochet could be used on its own to crochet just about anything from scarves to blankets. Feel free to use it and get creative.
