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.

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES VIRUS, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandon me so they won’t get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there’s no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how Dr.Akhimien cured them from HERPES VIRUS, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 9 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr.Akhimien because I forever owe you my life and I’ll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR Akhimien via website: https://drakhiniemodion.wixsite.com/drakhimien

Stolen Crypto? How to Recover Lost Bitcoin Online: My Experience with Decentralized Codex Security
I never believed the stories of recovered cryptocurrency. Like most, I thought that once Bitcoin was sent to the wrong address or stolen, it was gone forever—a permanent lesson in the risks of digital finance. That belief shattered when I lost 2.8 BTC due to a simple but devastating error: I copied a malicious wallet address from a compromised forum post. The transaction was confirmed in minutes, and my savings were gone.
The feeling was one of sheer helplessness. Police reports went nowhere, and general cybersecurity firms simply shrugged. My hope was almost extinguished until I found a detailed case study about Decentralized Codex Security (DCS). With no other options, I contacted them at consult@decentralizedcodexsecurity.com.
The process that followed was a masterclass in professional crypto recovery. Unlike the vague promises I’d encountered elsewhere, DCS provided a transparent, step-by-step plan from the outset. They assigned me a dedicated investigator who patiently explained their forensic blockchain tracing methodology. Their team at https://www.decentralizedcodexsecurity.com works with a level of expertise that feels like something out of a cyber-thriller.
Using advanced on-chain analysis, they tracked my stolen funds through a labyrinth of wallets and across multiple blockchains. They identified patterns and exposed the thief’s attempts to launder the coins through mixing services. The critical moment came when their tracing revealed the funds had landed in an account on a KYC-compliant exchange. DCS immediately prepared a legally rigorous report, complete with irrefutable evidence of the theft’s path, and formally liaised with the exchange’s security team.
The result? The assets were frozen. After complying with the exchange’s verification and legal procedures, 87% of my Bitcoin was successfully returned to my custody within 16 days. The fee for their service, taken from the recovered amount, was worth infinitely more than the 100% loss I was facing.
If you are reading this, feeling the same cold dread I once did, understand this: Recovery is possible. It requires the right experts with the correct tools and legal partnerships. Do not give in to despair. Reach out to Decentralized Codex Security. They are the definitive solution for recovering lost or stolen Bitcoin online.
Sincerely,
