How to do Foundation Double Crochet

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.

  • HOW I WON 1million dollars WITH Drherry LOTTERY SPELL AND MY LIFE CHANGED: I’m a 38-year-old from Chicago and I just won $1 million in the lottery. Life was really hard before this and I was constantly struggling to pay my bills. While searching online for ways to turn things around, I came across stories of people saying that Drherry helped them win the lottery. I was curious and decided to give it a try. I reached out to him and he responded quickly. He told me what was needed to cast a lottery spell. After the spell was done, he gave me numbers to play. I used OLG’s Never Miss a Draw subscription and a few days later, I got a call saying I had won $1 million. I was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotion. I never believed something like this could happen to me. I am truly grateful to Drherry for this incredible blessing.
