How to do Foundation Double Crochet

Posted by vicki brown on

foundation double crochet tutorial

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.

  • MY MIRACULOUS LOTTERY JOURNEY WITH LORD BUBUZA:
    I had almost given up on my lottery dreams. I had played for years but the most I ever won was $20, $70, and $30. I often wondered if I would ever win the Jackpot. One night, while searching online, I came across testimonies from people who testified that Lord Bubuza had guided them in their lottery journey and he gave them the lottery winning numbers after casting a lottery spell. Their stories gave me hope, so I decided to contact him on WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313. I explained how long I had been hoping for a major win. He gave me his guidance and instructions, which I followed carefully. I provided him with his requirement to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the lottery winning numbers, I bought the Powerball ticket for $2 dollars. When I checked my ticket, I was shocked by what I saw. I had won $574,000,000, I was overwhelmed with emotion. This experience is something I will never forget. Lord Bubuza is a God on Earth and his spell is Active. Contact him for help too via Email: Lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313

  • Don’t Let Crypto Theft Win – Recover Your Bitcoin & USDC via META TECH RECOVERY PRO

    I Thought I Had Lost Everything.
    I never imagined that someone I met online could completely change my life.
    When I met my partner online, our relationship quickly became important to me. We spent weeks and months talking about our lives, our hopes, and our plans for the future. I genuinely believed that we were building a life together.
    Because I trusted this person and believed our relationship was real, I wanted to help when financial difficulties and emergencies started to arise.

    At first, the requests seemed understandable. Then another emergency appeared. Then another.
    I continued sending money because I believed that once the problems were resolved, we would finally be able to build the life we had talked about.
    Eventually, I realized that something was not right.
    When I Discovered the Truth
    Finding out that I had been deceived was devastating.
    The financial loss was painful, but the emotional impact was even harder. I had trusted someone, shared personal parts of my life with them, and genuinely believed that our relationship was real.
    I felt embarrassed, heartbroken, and confused. I didn’t know where to turn, and I was afraid that people would blame me for trusting someone I loved.
    I decided that I needed professional assistance and contacted META-TECH RECOVERY PRO.
    The Investigation
    I provided the information and records I had available, including communications, payment records, online profiles, email information, telephone numbers, websites, and cryptocurrency transaction details where applicable.
    META-TECH RECOVERY PRO helped organize the information and examine the digital and financial evidence connected with the suspected fraud.
    For the first time, I was able to look at what had happened from an investigative perspective rather than only through the emotions I was experiencing.
    The process helped me understand the available evidence, the movement of the funds, and the relevant information surrounding the case.
    Recovering $240,000
    I honestly believed that my money was gone forever.
    Recovering $240,000 was an enormous relief.
    But beyond the financial recovery, having the circumstances documented and finally understanding what had happened gave me a sense of closure.
    I am grateful that I made the decision to preserve my evidence and seek professional assistance instead of simply giving up.
    What I Learned
    This experience taught me that being deceived does not mean you should be ashamed.
    Online romance scams can be carefully constructed around trust, emotions, and promises of a future together. It can be difficult to recognize what is happening while you are inside the situation.
    If someone you met online begins requesting money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, wire transfers, or financial assistance, take a step back and carefully examine the situation.
    Preserve your messages. Keep your transaction records. Save screenshots and relevant account information.
    Most importantly, don’t destroy evidence because you feel embarrassed or overwhelmed.
    A Message to Other Victims
    If you believe you may have been targeted by an online romance or financial scam, you are not alone.
    Document what happened and seek appropriate professional or law-enforcement assistance.
    Your evidence may contain information that is important to understanding the case.
