Back to Basics Crochet: Double Crochet

[meandean1114]

You are amazing. Thank you so much for making everything so easy to understand and do! You are by far the best teacher I've found.

@JYNaRaNlove You've got it! These are American terms. Australia and Europe use the same words for different stitches. You can do a google search for conversion charts if you have a British or AU pattern.

Do you have to do double crochet? Or is it ok to just do single crochet and half-double crochet

[Bethintx1]

@TiffanylovesRP You CAN do just one stitch, but you are limiting yourself. The ones I show are the basics and Most stitch patterns are usually made up of these basic stitches or variations thereof. To make a scarf, you can use any or all of the stitches I demonstrate. I included these stitches so the viewer can practice and learn all of the basics.

I am just wondering why in SC do you not YO BEFORE you go through the hole and in DC and DHC you do YO BEFORE you go through the hole??

@Danandvikki1 The YO adds a loop to make the stitch taller.

@Bethintx1  what is YO

[Bethintx1]

@Lovemegoofy YO is yarn over. Meaning wrap the yarn over the hook back to front.

@Bethintx1 I understand now. Thanks :)

lol i was thinking the same thing! Also, great videos, these are so helpful to me! I really appreciate it. I just bought my first crochet hook today after learning to knit a week and a half ago and am so thrilled to be successfully crocheting already! Thanks again!
