HOW TO: FOUNDATION DOUBLE CROCHET

Foundation Double Crochet

Learning to create chainless foundation stitches saves time and effort. It also surprisingly gives you a base that has more stretch than traditional foundation chains.


To create your foundation double crochet (FDC), begin with a slip knot and chain (CH) 3.

Yarn over (YO) and insert your hook into the first stitch and pull up a loop.

YO and pull through the first loop, YO and pull through 2 loops, YO pull through the last 2 loops.
