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.

FROM HOTEL SHEETS TO A $639,000,000 MILLION LOTTERY WINNER, THE WEDNESDAY THAT CHANGED MY LIFE:
I worked as a hotel cleaner, struggling to survive and provide for my family. The pay was often not enough for our bills, and sometimes I felt like giving up, but my sister kept encouraging me. One Wednesday at about 2:30pm, a guest came to the hotel celebrating a huge Powerball win. He shared his testimony about how Lord Bubuza, a spell caster, had helped him win by revealing the lottery numbers he played after casting a lottery spell. His story gave me hope, so I contacted Lord Bubuza on WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313 for help. I provided the requirements to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the Powerball winning numbers. I bought a $2 ticket and played. When I checked my ticket, I could hardly believe my eyes. I had won $639,000,000. After years of suffering, I broke down in tears. I am deeply grateful to Lord Bubuza. My story reminds me that even after years of hardship, life can change unexpectedly. Never give up hope, lord Bubuza is a God on Earth and can help you too.
