Step 3: Insert hook in next chain stitch as before, hook the yarn and draw it
through the chain stitch; hook the yam again and draw it through both loops:
You have made another single crochet.
Repeat Step 3 in each remaining chain stitch, taking care to work in the last
chain stitch, but not in the slip knot. You have completed one row of
single crochet. The figure below shows how to count the stitches.
Hint: As you work, be careful not to twist the chain; keep all the V's facing
you.
Working Row 2
To work the second row of single crochet, you need to turn the work In the
direction of the arrow (counterclockwise), as shown in the figure below, so
you can work back across the first row.
Do not remove the hook from the loop as you do this.
Now you need to bring the yarn up to the correct height to work the first
stitch. So, to raise the yarn, chain one (this is called a turning chain).
This row, and all the following rows of single crochet, will be worked into a
previous row of single crochet, not into the beginning chain as you did
before. Remember that when you worked into the starting chain, you
inserted the hook through the center of the Vand under the bump. This is
only done when working into a starting chain.
To work into a previous row of crochet, insert the hook under both loops of
the previous stitch, as shown in the figure below, instead of through the
center of the v.

The first single crochet of the row is worked in the last stitch of the previous
row, not into the turning chain. Work a single crochet into each single
crochet to the end, taking care to work in each stitch, especially the last
stitch, which is easy to miss.
Stop now and count your stitches; you should still have five single crochets
on the row.
Hint: When you want to pause to count stitches, check your work, have a
snack or chat on the phone, you can remove your hook from the wOrk-but
do this at the end of a row, not in the middle. To remove the hook, pull
straight up on the hook to make a long loop. Then withdraw the hook and
put it on a table or other safe place (sofas and chairs have a habit of eating
crochet hooks). Put work in a safe place so loop is not pulled out. To begin
work again, just insert the hook in the big loop (don't twist the loop), and pull
on the yarn from the skein to tighten the loop,
To end row two, after the last single crochet, turn the work
counterclockwise.
Here is the way instructions for row two might be written in a pattern:
Note: To save space, a number of abbreviations are used. For a list of
abbreviations used in patterns,

Working Row 3
Row 3 is worked exactly as you worked row 2. Here are the instructions as
they would be given in a pattern:
Row 3: Rep row 2.
Hint: Try to keep your stitches as smooth and even as pOSsible; remember
to work loosely rather than tightly and to make each stitch well up on the

Doing a Double Crochet For Dummies
Page 1 of3
DOing a Double Crochet
By Susan Brittain and Karen Manthey
The c!gpb.l,? .c[2.ci!fit (abbreviated<!~) is one of the most common crochet .s.~i~2~~.S. and is about twice as tall as a .s.illg.l~ fIQfb"'1. A fabric made of all double crochet stitches is fairly solid but not stiff and is great for sweaters, shawls, 6fg.~Cl:Il~, placemats, or any number of other home decor items. You can also combine the double crochet stitch with other stitches to produce many interesting P.?J~~r.r}§. and textures. First things first: R()w 1 The following steps set you up to work your firsi double crochet stitch: 1. Make a f21:l1J9.ati()D. fbf.>.iD by doing 15 chain stitches (f~. 15).
2. Chain 3 more stitches for the !l!f.lltfl.9 fb.a..ifl."
Now for your first double crochet stitch:
1. Y§lE!1.ClYt!r. the hook (YQ)· Remember to yarn over from back to front. 2. Insert your hook between the 2 front Ig().12s, and under the back bump loop of the fourth chain from the hook
(see Figure 1a).
Figure 1: Beginning a double crochet stitch.
3. Yarn over the hook.
4. Gently pull the wrapped hook through the center of the chain stitch,c.<lEEyin.9. the wrapped yarn through the
stitch.
Now, you should have 3 loops on your hook (refer to Figure 1b).
5. Yarn over the hook.
S. Draw your yarn through the first 2 loops on your hook (see Figure 2a).
Figure 2: Drawing your yam through the loops.
7. Yarn over the hook.
8. Draw your yarn through the last 2 loops on the hook (refer to Figure 2b). One double crochet (dc) stitch is complete. You should have one loop remaining on your hook. To finish yourfirst row of double crochet, work 1 double crochet stitch in each successive chain stitch across the foundation
chain, beginning in the next chain of the foundation chain as Figure 3a shows. You should have 16 double crochet stitches in
Row 1 (counting the turning chain as the first double crochet).

Figure 3: Finishing the first row of double crochet.
Take a look at Figure 3b to see what the end of the first row of double crochet looks like.
Turn around and begin again: Row 2
To work the second row of double crochet, follow these steps;
1.
Y21,1r. IJIQEis so that the back side is facing you.
2. Chain 3 (ch 3; for the turning chain).
3. Yarn over the hook (yo).
4. Skipping the first stitch of the row directly below the turning chain, insert your hook in the next stitch (see
Figure 4a).
Figure 4b shows you the wrong place to insert your hook.
Figure 4: Inserting hook for the first stitch of second row.
5. Bt}p~<:I~ Steps 3 through 8 from the previous section in each of the next 14 double crochet (dc) stitches. Be sure
to yarn over before inserting your hook in each stitch.
6. Work 1 double crochet in the top chain of the previous row's turning chain (see Figure 5).
You should have 16 double crochet stitches in Row 2 (counting the turning chain as 1 double crochet).
Figure 5: Insert the hook in the top chain of the turning chain.
Repeat these steps for each additional row of double crochet. Continue until you feel comfortable working this stitch. Figure 6
shows you how rows of double crochet look as a fabric.

Doing a Double Crochet - For Dummies
Page 3 of3
Figure 6: Several rows of double crochet.
Don't work a stitch into the first stitch of the row after the turning chain. Doing so produces an extra stitch, and if you continue
to add a stitch in each row, your design gets wider and wider as it gets longer and longer. Be sure to count your stitches
frequently to make sure that you haven't inadvertently gained (or lost) any stitches along the way.
Sometimes, especially when you're working with bulky yam or a larger than usual hook, the turning chain on a double
crochet row leaves a gap at the beginning of the row. To get a neater edge, try chaining 2 instead of 3 stitches for the turning
chain.

The Crochet Slip Stitch
Crocheting the Most Basic of all Stitch
Dec 20, 2007 Renee Blixt
Most patterns or projects cal
make the slip stitch correctly
How to Make a Slip Stitch­
crochelplus.tripod.com
The slip stitch in crochet can
be used anywhere it is needed
without changing the shape of
the project because the slip
stitch has no height. Compare
this to the single crochet
stitch; the sc adds a height of
"one." Compare this to the
double crochet stitch; the dc
adds a height of "two." All
other stitches add height as
well.
Uses of the Slip Stitch
A slip stitch is mainly used to
connect other stitches. The
slip stitch is intended to join
rounds, to seam, and to move
the yarn and hook to a
different spot without adding
height to a row. If a ring is
being made, the crocheter will
chain a number of stitches and
then connect them with a slip
stitch (sl st). For example,
when decreasing for an
annhole, a slip stitch moves
the yarn and hook in from the
edge ofthe fabric without
building height.
