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.
As a senior manager at a well-respected investment firm in the UK, I always prided myself on my financial acumen and ability to navigate complex markets. However, my recent experience with a cryptocurrency scam has taught me a harsh lesson about vulnerability and the importance of vigilance in the digital age. My foray into cryptocurrency began innocently enough. Intrigued by the buzz surrounding digital currencies and the potential for high returns, I found myself drawn into this new investment landscape. Initially, I approached it with curiosity, eager to explore the opportunities that lay ahead. However, as I became more involved, I was blinded by a mix of greed and the belief that I could outsmart the system. Over the course of six months, I invested my life savings of £400,000 into what I thought were promising ventures. The scammers behind this elaborate scheme were incredibly sophisticated. They created a façade of legitimacy, complete with professional-looking websites, fake testimonials, and even impersonated reputable financial advisors. I was lulled into a false sense of security, convinced that my investments were safe and growing. It wasn’t until I attempted to withdraw my funds that the reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. The promised returns evaporated, and the scammers vanished without a trace. I felt a profound sense of betrayal and regret. How could I have let myself be deceived? It was a painful realization that even someone with my background could fall victim to such a well-orchestrated scam. In my search for answers and recovery, I came across TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL, a firm dedicated to helping victims of online fraud. Their expertise and commitment to assisting individuals like me provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation. With their guidance, I embarked on a journey to recover my lost funds. The team at TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL worked diligently, employing their resources and knowledge to trace the funds and navigate the complexities of the recovery process. To my immense relief, they successfully recovered my entire investment. I have become an advocate for financial literacy, urging others to educate themselves about the risks associated with digital investments and to seek help from TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL if they have fallen victim. While I am grateful for the recovery of my funds, I hope my story serves as a cautionary tale. The world of cryptocurrency is fraught with risks, and it is essential to approach it with caution, awareness, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
