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.

I just wanted to share this review with everyone who can come across it. Everyone reading this on this platform, and a great thanks to the admin who made this medium a lively one, where everyone can share their opinions. I am Mrs. Livania, from New York, United States, and a retired nurse. I was bedridden for 8 months to get back on my feet. During this period, I came across an ad with numerous positive reviews on a trading broker platform. I was very interested, so I decided to contact the platform and invest with them. After my first deposit, I was told there was an increase in buying stocks, so I had to send more funds, and this whole thing continued for a good 6 months. Before I could realize I was already bankrupt, when I discovered that I had been scammed for a total sum of 378,000 in Bitcoin and USDC, I tried to get some recommended hackers online, but I ended up getting scammed again and again, and it hurts me so much because I am a good person who doesn’t deserve this wicked treatment. I already gave up, but then I came in contact with Reposolsa Recovery. I said to myself, after dealing with Reposolsa Recovery and no result, it would be my final straw. I messaged them directly via WhatsApp (+12092944699), and they responded swiftly. I laid my complaint to them, they assured me that they won’t charge me a dime till the recovery is a success, I was flabbergasted. Their approach relies on working closely with forensic accountants and other experts, as well as law They have an excellent track record of holding scammers accountable, including asset freezes, Do not let scammers get away with your hard-earned cash, look for ways to recover your stolen funds To recover your Scammed funds back to your bank account or to your bitcoin wallet address also to Clear or Erase Criminal Records.
