How to Double Crochet Stitch - Beginner Course: Lesson #9
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 10. 2012
- The double crochet stitch is the second most popular stitch. That is why it is so important to learn and understand how it works.
I start this tutorial by explaining where to place the first double crochet stitch in the foundation chain. This is helpful because if the placement is not correct the crochet project will not form correctly, or look right in the end.

You are amazing. I am totally blind and have had a really hard time following some of other people’s videos, but yours is extremely descriptive and Clear and I really really appreciate it. You have made it possible for me to learn how to crochet. Thank you so much.
How you type this?
@@camille9170 Speak to type more than likely
@@camille9170 I use a smart phone and on every smart phone under settings there’s something called accessibility if you turn that on my phone talks to me and then I dictate my responses. I can do everything you can do on your phone. Using certain tabs and swipes, and the dictation button.
Technology has come a long way….I am deaf, so I use captions to follow. I was born hard of hearing, but as I got older it declined. Due to severe nerve damage at birth hearing aids and Cochlear implants won’t work for me.
This video is great tutorial for those trying to grasp the concept.
Thank you for the video!
@@camille9170 thanks
By far the most useful tutorial I’ve watched. I’m coming back to crochet after 40 years so thank you very much for posting!
it’s not working for me mine just looks like a blob
Welcome back to it!! Beware the addiction! 😄😄😆
@@bumble_bee_puddingg8664 Aww...! That's often how it is when you first learn... is it less blobular now???
@@bumble_bee_puddingg8664 It just takes practice! Never get discouraged! Even when I first learned this it was so un-even.

I was really struggling with learning crochet because everybody moves so fast during tutorials but yours was super easy to understand and I finally learned how to do something other then single chain. Thank you! ☺️
Your videos and view from the camera have literally taught me how to crochet. I bought a book to teach myself; however, I couldn't get it correct to save my life. I then tried CZcams and came across you! Thank you so much for your great videos. They're perfect. You talk the perfect amount of time, have the perfect view for me to see the stitches, and are so good at explaining and being able to show the stitches vs. going to fast or being behind your fingers where I can't really tell. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Very helpful, thank you!
Thats so sweet!
I'm a beginner. I just discovered you. Most informative video I've ever seen. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to learning more from you
There's a lot more videos out there I'm a beginner also but I hate double crochet
I have watched like six different videos on how to double crochet, and you are the only one who has helped me learn it! Thanks to you I am now doing the double crochet stitch!!
She truly is amazing!
Same here!!
Ive also come back to freshen up. If you dont use it you lose it. I love how you start out slow. This is by far best tutorial I've come across
Thanks for letting me know how my videos are working for you and that is great that you figured out how to change colors mid row. I really need to make another tutorial on how to do that!!
This is the best double crochet tutorial I have found on youtube. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! I am really glad you like it!

I cannot thank you enough for your simple videos on each crochet style. This is so helpful for me coming back to crochet after 15 years!
This may have been posted 11 years ago, but this is still helpful now. So many different people and tutorials have tried to explain how double crochet works and this is the only explanation that has really clicked. Thank you :)
I am so glad this video helped you!!
Love your videos! I've been trying to learn for 20 years with my grandmother. I could never get it! I watched one of your videos a month ago. Since then I've made 6 scarves and a beanie hat! Guess what everyone got for Christmas! Now I'm off to tackle my first blanket. Thanks so much!!
That is awesome Christy!! Thank you a ton for your post and keep up the great work!
Yes! I love my Nan but she could not help me learn it was embarrassing for me, I am so happy I can crochet with her now!♡♡♡♡
My grandma taught me when I was twelve but I couldn’t remember how to do this stitch so thanks
My first crochet was a blanket! I think it’s actually pretty easy compared to hats but that’s my next project 😊
You make it look as simple as it can be! Your camera angle was perfect and i saw everything that i needed to see. Thank you!
I am so glad you like it... thank you!
I'm just getting back into crochet after almost 10 years of not practicing and this has been the smoothest, easiest tutorial I have ever watched, even compared to the videos I watched when I first started! I am so excited to finish my first project this year and you have been so helpful. Thank you for making this!
Glad it was helpful!
Omg I started crocheting a few hours ago and I’m really happy!!! This took me a while but this video was really helpful! I’m so happy I found this video! I know how to do the knot thing at the beginning, the chain, the crochet, AND double crochet! I’m soooo happy!
My friend taught me how to crochet about 18 years ago. I took a few years and am trying to get back to it. Thank you very much.
Clear, concise and great camera work! I also really appreciate the pace. I'm a cold-stone beginner and slow. Too many otherwise good videos go way too fast. Love this!
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Im sat here crying and rethinking my life decisions.
because same
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you for your comment and I am glad that my videos have helped you!
I took up crocheting as a kid and I just learned the most basic way of making anything. I recently picked up again and have been trolling YT for tutorials and I just couldn’t get back in the hang of things. You my dear have changed that, you break it down in such a way for anyone to be capable of picking up crocheting. Thank You! I will be watching all of your materials.
After doing some knitting, I'm finally making my first crochet practice swatch with basic stitches and this helped SO MUCH!!!! Thank you!!!!
I am really glad it helped and thanks for letting me know!
There is no question that this is by far the best crochet video and I have watched them all. You are clear, concise, easy to follow and I actually now know how to do a DC! Thanks, can’t wait to watch your other videos!❤️
Thank you Dinnelle I am glad you find them helpful!
Seriously! I learned years ago thru a book I didn’t quite get. Then when I watched your video, I finally see how to insert the hook correctly! The book never said to insert thru one of the strands (in first row) and then thru 2 of the strands (in the 2nd row)! Oh my!! Thanks for clarifying this!! 😃
Thank you SO much for such an easy and eye pleasing illustration! I think I’ll do fine on my project now. (I may re-visit this one, but plan to look at more of your videos)
Thank you for this video! I was struggling trying to teach myself to double crochet with other videos. I finally did it correctly because I watched your video! Thank you!
I have been crocheting for about a month now and was having the worst time figuring out what I was doing wrong in everything that required a double crochet so I decided to backtrack and learn this stitch all by itself. I tried a few other videos that weren’t very clear and then I stumbled upon yours. Not only did I figure out what I was doing wrong but you cleared up another question. Now I have confidence with myself and am excited to dive into and finish some real projects. Thank you so much for going slowly and for making each little movement made easy to see. You rock.
Thank you, thank you for this video! Finally a good tutorial, it was slow enough for me to do while you spoke & explained, & you didn't move your hands everywhere making it hard to see what you were doing! Keep up the good work! Now I can get started on my facial round!
Jesse James I am really glad you liked my video and thank you so much for your kind words!
Thank you sooo much for this video! I've crocheted on and off for years, always self-taught. This is the first thing I've seen that explains where to place your stitch when working on the second row (specifically where you show that there should be 4 loops on your hook for dc). I've been doing it wrong the whole time! Thank you again!
+Death To Usernames I am so glad my video worked for you!
Amber Whitman i hope to see you in person but I don't know if I can do that but I may be able to do that because I am in Nigeria.
Thanks a ton for your post and I am so happy that you are learning from my videos...I will keep them coming!!
OH MY GOSH! I can't even believe how much I've been messing up. I wondered why things have been looking so weird. It's been WORKING, but so weirdly. And I don't know WHAT I've been doing that I THOUGHT was a dc/ds, but it is NOT what you just demonstrated, NOR has it been producing what I remembered doing so many years ago. Thank you so very much. I have to REPROGRAM this brain now to do it correctly. I am very grateful for having caught this video before digging through any others. :D
In fact, I just chose to remove an entire row of what *I* WAS doing so I can redo it correctly. Yeh, I'm not about to take apart the entire blanket. I don't undo rows for ANYthing - that's a lot of work. But for THIS, I am actually doing it. :P
Thank you for explaining that you place the stitch under BOTH strands of the stitch below! I have searched for this answer!
Me too! I couldn't find the answer anywhere!
I watched this for the first time on Saturday (01/04/14) and I've already made 2 scarves and I'm currently working on my 3rd. Your lessons are so informative and easy to learn along with. And thank you for showing left-handed lessons!
You're welcome and thank you for your kind words!
I’ve noticed with a lot of video patterns, people opt to go into the 2nd ch from hook and include that in their instructions, with double crochets and I notice their work gradually become uneven, I’m thankful for this reminder that they indeed go into the 4th ch
I have been trying to do this for some time now and never could! I watched your video and actually understood! I also love how they are up close so you can actually see and loud enough to hear! Thank you!
No doubt the best teacher and tutorial! Love how slowly you explain each step helping a beginner really learn! Excellent!!
Thank you so very much! I never knew learning to crochet could be so easy.
+Jackee Parker I am glad to help!
Thank you Bobbie! I am a beginner when it comes to crochet work and I found your tutorial very easy to follow and you keep things simple yet explain all that needs to be known. I appreciate you taking time to do this video for us.
Have a great day and I am going to get started on this pattern now and use it to make a small pillow case just for show.
My occupational therapist thought it would be good for me to learn how to crochet. I already knew how to do the foundation chain but that was it. She tried showing me the double crochet and I couldn’t seem to catch on. I came across your video and have watched it several times but still can’t get the hang of it. I will keep on trying!
Absolutely the best video I have seen explaining so clearly, not only the double crochet, but the turning, which always confuses me. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you so much for the kind words!
Okay I hope I explain this in a way that makes sense. When you chain 3 in the double crochet to start the next row you are creating a turning chain. The turning chain brings your yarn and hook up to the same level as your next stitch and all of this stitches that follow. So in each stitch the turning chain is different because each stitch is a different height. I hope that helps!
thank you so much for your excellent instruction. You speak slowly, have slow deliberate hand movements which are easy to follow, and explanations that include the reasoning behind the stitches or in this case the chains. The contrasting yarn and hook colors as well as your simple nail color and length were wonderful , not at all distracting. SO clear, so well done. a million thanks.
She's the only one who showed it in a way I could finally learn it. Thank you, definitely coming back for more tutorials (:
I am an absolute beginner and this is the most intelligible tutorial I have watched about double crocheting and I DID ACTUALLY DO IT SUCCESSFULLY. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
Perfect tutorial!! This is a fast, easy, pretty stitch! 👍👏🙂 Thank you!!
No problem and thank you for your kind words and your post!!
Thank you! I wasn't putting a double crochet into the turning chain so my project was getting smaller and smaller. very straightforward tutorial :)
You are a FANTASTIC teacher! I've been trying to get my head around crochet for ages and thanks to your fantastically logical explanations, by jove I've got it - first go too! Thanks you so much! Im going to work my way through all your material now! ❤
Never could figure out how to double crochet until now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I wish I had found this video when I first started crocheting. It's the best beginners video I have seen! Thank you!
I watched a different tutorial just about the different stitches in general. I was so confused when she explained the double crochet so thank you for clearing these things up
I've been trying to learn this for ages and finally got it. Feeling accomplished! Thanks!
I think I have gone through every crochet tutorial for beginners on CZcams and these are by far they best. I loved that the lessons are broken up into easy to digest segments; it kept me from going crazy and pulling out my hair. I will definitely stick with Crochet Guru! Thank you.
I am so glad you liked the tutorials and thank you so much for your kind words!
Same! :D
I would like to tell you that you are a very good teacher! This is the first time I actually understood how to double-crochet.
Perfect go to video for both beginners and experienced crocheters who just need a quick refresher. Thank you very much!
I am so glad you liked it!!!
Thank you so much! Perfect speed to help beginners understand what's happening, I got it the first time thanks to your excellent instruction!
Thank You so much! I have spent at least twelve hours trying to figure this out using a book.....big mistake!
Your video helped tremendously! I have a problem counting my stitches....it gets confusing on where stitch starts and ends. I keep dropping stitches and my practice swatches get narrow as I do more rows.
I have been trying to learn how to crochet for years now, both googling, people trying to teach me.. and your video actually did the job, i've crocheted for the first time in my life
So 10/10 I reccommend this video.
I'm trying to refresh my 91 year old Oma's memory of crocheting again. She never got far in crocheting years and years ago, but I'm trying to learn myself and read patterns in order to help teach her. Great videos!
You're welcome and I am happy that you have found a love for crochet like me!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have one question. I have this "baby" yarn. It's specifically made for baby blankets or something super soft. I can't ever see my stitches on it so I don't use it. Can you make a video about this or can you give any tips to me? The yarn brand I use is "Red Heart"
Thank you! My mom is using that yarn. I told her if she could go out and buy that thicker material yarn that doesn't have as much cotton sticking out so I can see my work. I've gotten addicted to crocheting!
As a complete beginner, I can't tell you how useful this video is. If all the rest of your videos are the same, I'll be breezing right along. Thank you very much!
I have wanted to learn to crochet for years and have tried before but was always confused - your tutorials are AMAZING!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I started on Saturday and have successfully made 2 dishcloths with sc and am now trying a dc one. I am "hooked"! HAH! Thanks again
I am having difficulty seeing the difference between what you show here as a double crochet stitch and what I have seen done for a treble crochet. The treble I mean was actually referred to as "A UK treble crochet" in another tutorial I watched.
yes in Australia also, this is known as a treble.
Honestly, I don’t understand.
My Grandma tried teaching me crochet when i was a little kid (didn't happen:) well I'm 27 now and for last Christmas my aunt got me a book on how to and it helps but i learn better by watching videos. I learned to single stitch yesterday and now can double stitch. My grandma is pretty much blind now but when i told here I learned how she couldn't have been happier not a lot of people crochet in my family anymore :)
I haven't crocheted for almost ten years but you are so great at explaining everything it's like you unlocked all my memories and now I can pick it right back up :D Thank you for posting this!
note: do not use fluffy yarn to try and learn this it makes it 10x more difficult
Very true! I've been crocheting for some years and I always forget how to do it lol
This just made a big knot for me 🙁
To be perfectly honest, and I'm also learning, it's exactly what it looks like 😅
Same as Brittany I too learned how to crochet AND knit off of CZcams. Your videos are a tremendous help. The camera angles really show the spots that need to be seen that no other videos show. Thank you.
You are a great teacher. You don’t talk too fast and I could see exactly what you were doing. My whole life I have only ever done single crochet. I’m 59 and just didn’t seem to be able to learn. Now I’ve got it😊 Thank you
Am i only one who still can't figure out how to do this T^T
Nope. I can't either.
dont worry...i can barely... im still piecing it together. ive been taught like 4 times and i still cant. i still just learned how to purl when all i knew was the knit stitch! watched 3 videos and it still doesnt help...
I can't either
im currently still losing brain cells, this id the most confusing and stressful thing ever . why is crocheting so DIFFICULT????!!!!!
Thank you! This video single handedly taught me to double crochet. I thought it was going to be hard but you made it simple. Thank you!
So glad I found this video! I picked up single crochet from a book but bought a couple more books trying to learn double crochet and watched a couple videos before I finally figured it out with your help!
your tutorial was so easy to follow, i like how you slow motion when doing the stitches and my stitches looked like yours... thank you
I have been crocheting for years and I just found out I have been doing it wrong. I am so glad I watched her because she was so clear with her instructions. I can't wait to start a project and know I'm doing it right. Love it!!
I am really glad this video helped you and thank you for your post!!!
I’m coming back to crochet after many years away from it. I’ve made 2 dishcloths in single crochet and now I want to make a blanket throw using double crochet. I found your tutorial terrific. Thank you
Thank you so very much for this video!!! I've been doing pretty good but I've been struggling with just a couple things dealing with the double crochet. You have been one of the very first videos to not only explain what you were doing, but you also SHOWED what you were doing, which cleared up my questions. Thank you so very much, and wonderful video!!
You are the sweetest! I have watched countless tutorials and your's finally taught me exactly what to do. Within seconds I was confidently doing a double crochet!
The demo is very helpful, also a a great refresher.
Thank you from a 2 day new crochet addict!😂 Already made a headband, Chistmas decor bell and a pumpkin! Used single crochet and half double crochet only so was keen to see what a full double ctochet looks like and i like it very much!... boring Winter evenings no more!😊
Thank you for the kind comment Lovelife...and I am glad my crochet videos are working for you!
I agree that the double crochet on the end of a scarf would look great. That is why I like crochet...you can be creative and come up with great ideas on your own!
thanks for this. i am barely learning how to crotcheting. i have got singular crotcheting done and now im trying to learn double crochet and watching your video has helped :))
Truly the best instruction I have received. Learning the abbreviations is extremely important so leave them in for sure! ❤
I too love your great and easy to understand videos. Your voice is crisp and every move is outlined in a very logical manner. I am not new to crocheting, but have forgotten a lot over many years. Thank you for providing these great lessons!
The best tutorial for crochet I've seen yet! Everyone goes too fast and doesn't teach from the POV of a total beginner.
I've been looking for 2 days now for a video like this and yours was just perfect! Thank you sooo much! It was slow, easy to follow and understand! I look forward to learning more from you! Thanks again!!
Thank you, I finally understand the double crochet stitch.
You're welcome and thank you for your post!
This video is SO helpful, and so thorough. I definitely need to practice it, but this video has demystified the double crochet stitch for me. Thank you so much!
Your instructions are very easy to follow and your video is nice and clear. Thank you! I'm just learning to crochet (at 54 years old!) and I'm loving it!
I am really glad the video helped!
Fabulous video, probably the best tutorial I've found on CZcams, it's slow and not fast so good thankyou!!
Your videos are so helpful I learned when I was 9 and that was almost 10 years ago I’ll be 19 in April I forgot how to do some of it and I came across yours and it really helped! this is the best video yet
You are amazing. Most people do it too fast. Very clear direction. Thank you!
That is great to hear Jennifer...thank you for your comment!
I love this!!! It's so easy to follow and it helps the video and yarn are so bright and that it's in slow motion! I watch tons of how to videos and they have dark yarn or go way too fast! This is simply perfect!!!!!!!!!!
