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 much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system. No one would convince me that winning this lottery Powerball or mega millions is not something that changes the way and view of life’s prospects. I won the Powerball Lottery on April 7 2026 and I am coming to say a wonderful and big thanks to Priest Alaska for helping me with the winning numbers for the Powerball Lottery. I was really overwhelmed the day I contacted Priest Alaska to help me win the California Powerball Lottery when he instructed me what to do. The time came to play the lottery and I did and believe me, it was exhilarating. I won the Powerball $2.04 Billion and collected the lump sum of $997.6 Million and the April Powerball drawing raised a record $156.3 million for the California public school system. I am indeed grateful to Priest Alaska and others who helped me with their contact. Anyone who reads my comments should also try to contact Priest Alaska Services visit their website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com or Email directly to alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com
As cryptocurrency continues to reshape finance in 2026, scams, hacks, phishing attacks, and lost wallet access remain major challenges for digital-asset owners.
Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery helps clients investigate cryptocurrency-related incidents through blockchain analysis, cybersecurity investigation, and digital evidence assessment. Our process begins by reviewing the circumstances of the case, including wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots, communications, and other available evidence.

We then analyze relevant blockchain activity to understand how digital assets moved and identify potential leads. Where appropriate, our findings can help clients communicate with exchanges, legal professionals, cybersecurity specialists, or relevant authorities.
Our approach is based on ethical investigation, transparency, and realistic expectations. Cryptocurrency transactions are often irreversible, so no legitimate recovery provider can guarantee that stolen assets will be returned.
If you have experienced a cryptocurrency scam, unauthorized transaction, hacked wallet, or lost access, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery can help you understand the available evidence and explore legitimate recovery options.
