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 Dr Beatrix from United state of American, I just wanted to let everyone know about my experience. I attempted to invest my money in Bitcoin, but internet crooks depleted and destroyed my finances. I fell prey to a bitcoin investment fraud, which requires you to keep all of the money in your wallet. The concept seemed fantastic, but regrettably, I ended up in the wrong hands. You may not understand how much was at stake since for a couple of six months, I invested $8,000 every two weeks from my savings being a doctor. As anticipated, the crooks entirely cut off all communication with me, and I never received any return on my investment. I discussed with a trusted co-worker and explained my situation to her who told me about Ghost Champion Recovery Hackers, an entity that recovers Bitcoin and crypto that has been stolen or loss to fake traders. After I informed them of what had happened, they the build up my filed and procced with investigation and communication with me via telegram :https://t.me/WizardGhosthacker , the recovered 95% of my Bitcoin to my private wallet in a matter of few days. I was simultaneously surprised and delighted. If you have had the similar experience, please get in touch with them at Email : ghostchampionwizard@gmail.com
