Learn the DOUBLE CROCHET stitch | Beginner Friendly

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel!
In today's video I will be demonstrating the double crochet stitch.

The double crochet (dc) stitch is one of the most common and versatile stitches in crochet. Here's a step-by-step guide to mastering it:

Materials Needed:
Yarn: Any type suitable for your project.

Instructions:
Make a Foundation Chain:

Create a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook.
Chain a desired number of stitches. For practice, start with about 10 chains.
Yarn Over (YO):

Wrap the yarn around your hook once, so you have two loops on the hook.
Insert the Hook:

Skip the first three chains from your hook (these skipped chains will count as your first double crochet in the row).
Insert the hook into the fourth chain.
Pull Up a Loop:

Yarn over again and pull the yarn through the chain. You now have three loops on your hook.
Work the First Step:

Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook. You’ll have two loops remaining.
Complete the Stitch:

Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. You’ve completed one double crochet stitch!
Continue Across the Row:

Repeat steps 2–6 in each chain until you reach the end of the row.
Turn Your Work:

When you finish the row, chain three (this acts as the first double crochet for the next row), turn your work, and continue stitching into each stitch of the previous row.
Tips for Success:
Consistent Tension: Keep an even tension on the yarn to ensure your stitches are uniform.
Counting Stitches: Always count your stitches at the end of each row to ensure you haven’t accidentally added or missed any.
Practice: Double crochet is easier with practice. Start slow and gradually pick up speed.
Once you've mastered the double crochet stitch, you can use it to create blankets, scarves, hats, and countless other projects. It's a versatile stitch that's great for adding height and texture to your work.
