Double Crochet Tutorial for Beginners

This beginner's tutorial will show you how to crochet the double crochet stitch.

We work up three rows and talk about turning chains and why they're important. You can use any "bulky" (5) or "super bulky" (6) weight yarn to practice. Use the hook size that your skein of yarn recommends.

The 4th stitch? How do i only find this out now 😂 ive been crocheting for MONTHS. I made a sweater and the girl i was watching from said the 3rd. Also i didnt know you were supposed to flip the chain upside-down. This actually makes sense, i always struggled with sewing things together bc i didnt see those chains. Thank you so much, you helped me a lot haha

Very good demonstration of how to make a double crochet. Using the bulky yarn and larger hook really helped to see. Thank you.

hello! I’m completely new to crochet and have been watching a ton of videos- can I ask what the difference is between double crocheting into the back bump rather than double crocheting into the top of the stitch? Thank you!

ok so i get the basic rhythm of this stitch, however, i'm having an issue at the turn. after my 1st row, i count 10 stitches as you demonstrated. after chaining 3 & turning, i went under the 2nd stitch as you showed. when i got to the end and counted my stitches, i only had 9. i undid my work and tried 2 more times making sure to NOT go under the turning stitch. i still come out with 9 at the end. i kept going for a 3rd row and same issue, 9 stitches. my edge does appear to be "leaning" in as opposed to out had i used the 1st stitch after chaining and turning. but i have been very careful to use the 2nd. and yet i still only get 9 stitches each time. obviously, that tells me that what i think is the 2nd stitch must be the 3rd, but watching this over and over and pausing constantly, i'm sure i'm using the 2nd. is there a better way to verify the 1st stitch i should be going under after turning my work?

I just started crocheting and my double crochet stitches keep decreasing by one as I’ve been going and I couldn’t figure out why but your video made me realize that I was only chaining 1 instead of 3 every turn🥲

[zahraanatiq]

this is the clearest tutorial on youtube! thank you!

[juliemorisette]

Thanks for the 3rd row. What yarn are you using.

[roxyavocado]

Hello I had a question I’ve seen some videos where they say after 4 stitches and then some say after 3 to start after u have ur chain ready. 😭 I’m just so confused.

[cs]

Why did we account for only 2 extra chains on the initial chain but added 3 at the turn? TIA💗

[juliemorisette]

Stich markers would help me a bit. But why are you using?

[sarahcompton]

I've been crocheting for several years and never saw the lovely neat back bump approach before. Thank you! Also I've been trying to copy your yarn hold technique as I've been getting a sore hand my way, but I can't work it out properly. Do you have a separate tutorial for how you hold the yarn? I mostly use 3 or 4 ply or fingering yarn, this might make a difference? Thanks.
