How to do Foundation Double Crochet

Posted by vicki brown on

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.

  • I was ruptured and lost all my life savings when I invested in cryptocurrencies and got into the wrong hands, i had $213,811 in BTC stolen from me. I was about to lose hope in life after hearing that it couldn’t be found or recovered, but fortunately I came across an article online about a recovery specialist called Cybertechie, and on how he has been helping people recover their lost funds via sc**m or any other illegal means, I contacted them and did some work with them just to give it a try. I never thought it would be feasible, but to my greatest amazement, they were able to recover the money that was taken from me. I decided to share this with anyone who might require such a service. Regarding BTC recovery or money lost to sc**mmers/Hacking services you can reach out to them on..:cybertechie813 @ gmail. com or WhatsApp +358 44- 9349-429.

  • Hello, I want to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.
