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’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Benjamin for the guidance and encouragement he gave me during my lottery journey. I reached out to him after hearing about his work, explained my hopes of winning the Mega Millions jackpot, and decided to give it a try. He shared a set of numbers with me and encouraged me to remain positive and hopeful. I purchased my ticket using those numbers, and I was completely shocked when they matched the winning numbers. I won the Mega Millions jackpot of $50 million! It was an unforgettable moment that changed my life. I’ll always appreciate Dr. Benjamin’s support.

There was a time when I thought my marriage would end in silence and regret. The distance between us kept growing, and every attempt to fix things only led to more arguments. I felt emotionally drained and ready to give up. Finding Dr. Alaska became a turning point for me. Instead of judgment, I received understanding. Instead of fear, I found hope. Through his guidance and reassurance, the atmosphere in my home gradually improved. My partner reached out, our conversations became calm and meaningful again, and the love we once shared began to grow stronger. Today, we are not just back together we are stronger, wiser, and more connected than before. I am deeply thankful for this second chance and the peace that has been restored in my marriage.

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.
