How to do Foundation Double Crochet
Posted by vicki brown on
As today is the day we start the Summer of Crochet Socks crochet-a-long and the first pattern (Cranage Socks) starts with a row of Foundation Double Crochet, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a little tutorial for this stitch.
I love this method of starting any crochet work - I much prefer it to starting chains - and it's particuarly useful for this pattern as we go around and work into the underside of the foundation row and I think it makes a nicer base of the stitch.
If you really don't want to do this - then you absolutely can just do a starting chain and work as many stitches as the pattern calls for - but I think once you have a go at this you'll be converted.
Start with a slip stitch.
Chain two.
Insert your hook into the first chain you made (or second chain from hook) yarn around hook, draw through one loop - so you now have 2 loops on your hook.
Yarn around hook - draw through one loop again. So you've essentially worked two chains since inserting into your first chain.
Yarn around hook, draw through both loops, and that's it you've made the first stitch.
To work your next stitch (and all subsequent stitches) insert your hook into the bottom of the last stitch you made. A bit further down is a picture with all the stitch parts labelled if you're not sure where that is.
As you did for the last stitch, you now essentially do two chains, so yarn around hook, draw through one loop, yarn around hook, draw through one loop again. So you're left with two loops on hook.
To finish the stitch, yarn around hook, draw through both loops.
Then just repeat as required.
I hope this is helpful - any questions please ask away.
In May, my credit scores were 486 (TransUnion), 514 (Equifax), and 523 (Experian). When I applied for a mortgage loan in June, I was denied due to my low FICO scores. I turned to Reddit to ask for advice on how to improve my credit. I received numerous suggestions about H A C K M A V E N S . I reached out to him, and he replied promptly. I shared all the details about my credit situation, but I was hesitant to release my funds to him. He assured me that he could fix my credit, and I would pay for his services once the job was completed, which I agreed to. After three days, I received a notification from Experian saying, “Congrats, your FICO Score has increased!” I quickly logged in to check, and to my surprise, he had raised my scores to 806 (TransUnion), 814 (Equifax), and 816 (Experian). All negative items on my credit report were removed; no inquiries, no collections. I’m incredibly thankful. I just received better credit card offers. H A C K M A V E N S is amazing! You can reach him via email at H A C K M A V E N S 5 AT G M A I L DOT COM or call/text/Whats-App at [+1 (2 0 9) 4 1 7 – 1 9 5 7]. Don’t forget to mention that I, Anna, referred you to him.
