Double Crochet Stitch

[azg4writing]

finally i got it, thanks

[lolleys]

You are a very good teacher. I know the single crochet stitch, but more patterns seem to call for double, so I appreciate you making this!

[princesscitric]

thank you, this was so helpful!

[rachelthespatula]

This is very helpful! Thank you!

[BondiBeachGirl]

You explain and show very well..thank u for showing it slowly am a beginner.

[TheBookflutterby]

Your crochet videos are awesome! I love knitting and have been wanting to learn crochet, but all the books I got made it so complicated. Your video was helpful and clarifying! Thank you!

[dsb188]

This was really helpful. I like that I can see what your doing up close. You make it look easy!!! Thanks!!!

[msyata1]

thank you so much!!

[aficionado54]

tnx a lot

[MiaPopTwi]

Thank you soo much, almost all the other videos it is so complicated but this one makes it so easy:)

Thank you!!

[MelStar111]

my grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet as a child. i've done it off an on all my life, but had forgotten how to read a pattern, and a few of the stitches. your tutorials are fantastic, and i really thank *you* for taking the time to put them on and teach. now, no longer having grandma to sit here with me and teach, this is the next best thing! :)

[rorystar1]

this is fabulous! i have only ever done the single crochet and now I am ready for double!

[sizerz]

THAAAAAAANKYOOOOOOOOOU!!

[5unFi5h]

This is amazing!

[lstein0]

This little video made my day! Thank you so much for clearly explaining what the books and abbreviations try to make complicated!

You rock.

[Janpeanut100]

Thank you watching these videos have been most helpful its better than trying to read patterns from Janet in uk

[TheDanielle518]

Thank you so much for the Video!!! I have finally Figured out what I've been doing wrong!

[courtneymim]

thank you!

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

AWESOME !!! Because of you and YouTube, I now know how to crochet like a pro.

[10Possum10]

wow I never knew I had to start off going into the 4st, and doing 3 st at the turn.. These video's have made it sooooo much easier than reading a pattern which looks all alien like to me anyway. I now only learn to crochet by watching these sorts of video's because I can watch it all the way through and establish whether or not I feel able to tackle it before I even commence my first stitch. Thank you!

[lperlich]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Knit Witch!

My mom is trying to teach me how to crochet right now. Unfortunately, she is left-handed and I am right-handed. She is also a self-taught crocheter (unable to speak perfect English when she arrived here, she learned by studying pictures in books). Needless, her stitch lessons can get confusing. Now she and I crochet side by side with ease thanks to you!!!

[10Possum10]

@lperlich i am left handed as well. My mum tried to teach me knitting and I failed miserably at it because she is right handed, so I self taught myself to crochet as i find it so much easier than knitting. These video's are a godsend to all newbies, especially when we dont have someone who has patience to sit with us for hours on end and teach us left handers lol

[shotzineff]

The best!!! Love her!!!

[untiltomarrow11]

this helped amazingly thank you. without this video i would still be doing it wrong. thanks again

[manchesterUFan08]

i've been trying to teach my OLDER sister how to crochet, unfortunately I'm a very impatient teacher...

[Kinkycurlycoil]

good!!! I am going to try this !!!! thanks so much!!

[callmecrazyrach]

why do you need to go into the 4th chain stitch when you start?

ive done this stitch before, but it was in a patter of a few rows of single, then a few rows of double.  it didnt look right. is that becuase i started the double stitch row wrong?

[theknitwitch]

@callmecrazyrach - Yes - you need to be sure to start your stitches in the correct place or else the edges will not be even.

[Menio67]

This is really clear and informative. It is so much better than trying to read instructions in a book like I was doing. Thank you.

[iChocolatie]

Do I have to use worsted weight yarn?

Because I'm using light/sports yarn and I seem to be doing it wrong; since there's huge gaps between each double stitch.

[theknitwitch]

No, you don't have to use a worsted weight but the smaller yarn you use the bigger your gaps will be between stitches.

[ghpandagh]

Your Instructions are so clear thanks!!!

[Br3ana2008]

oh my gosh

thank you so much

Ive look at other crochting videos on youtube but yours are the only ones i actually understand = ]

[Yesitis808]

1:34 "don't forget to wrap is first, before you put it in". I think I saw that as a condom company's motto.

[ShelbyLSprouse]

Thank you! I've been making a blanket for a while now and it hasn't been looking right at all... but this video really helps!

[jodonato76]

Answered all my questions. Very informative.

[victorialove360]

thanks sooooo much! im makin a belt using this stitch, and this helped a bunch!!!!

[maerceci002]

Thank you thank you thank you I used to think crocheting was too difficult for me and your videos combined with a book made it easy for me. Now any time I attempt a new stitch I try to find your video of it so I can see it first. It's especially helpful that you go slow, thank you so much !!

[iorganize]

Thank you soooo much! I have tried and tried to understand and this is the first time I got it!

[itsramoose]

thank you so much, this is amazing i couldnt do it, and now i can

[darkgardyner]

I love that you use a dark hook and light yarn...it makes it so much easier to see detail. Thanks knit witch!

[katiekat475]

thank you for making this video!!!! I learned it so quick because of you!!

[ItsApocalyptic]

Thank you so much! This video was so helpful! You're definitely my source for all my needlework needs! :D

[coralaisly]

O!!! wrap it first! I could never figure out how to do that! haha Thanks Much!

[cherrycokewine]

Your videos are the best.

[jwill22ify]

Thanks, needed a refresher

[thtsfunny7]

yes! yes! i made my first curve! yayayayayay! progress is good! THANKS YOU!

[thtsfunny7]

your vidoes are so helpful! I have been crocheting for like 2 days and befor i can do anything i needed to learn all the stiches, so thank you. You make it look so easy btw!

[heathermarieable]

Thanks so much for posting this! its sooo much more helpful than any of the books ive used!

[E38557]

Wow....my friend does this stuff wonderfully ....yesterday she taught me the "chain" and i got home and didn't know what to do once i got that.....THIS has now made my chain well on its way to a blanket.............THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR HELPING US NEWBIES!!!!!!!

[mrswigglesby]

Great Video, Thanks! I have to go back to the basics it's been awhile!

[PoemJunkie]

I used to be pretty good at crochet, but it's been five years and when I went back to it, I could only remember vaguely even the basic stitches! Thanks for the refresher, I'm back on track now.

I'm way faster at double crochet than single crochet. Why is that, I wonder? :S

[tlks2much1452]

Yes!

With the instructions I had all I ended up with was an ugly knot of yarn.

This was the most wonderfully useful thing ever!

Thank you :-)

[blackkat89]

Helpful thank you

[jadorecx]

thanks!

[tanyoub]

thx u so much it really helped  :)

[AnimeGuineaPigFreak7]

Thanks! This made it really clear!

[mianbaci]

thank you this was so helpful!

[Scotinswiss]

Beware if you are from the UK an American double crochet stitch is not the same as a UK one.

However this is a great video and very easy to follow if you want American instructions.

[melvinswifeylove]

I was double crocheting a baby blanket and it ended up beautiful except for the ends were all slanted because none of the other videos told me to hook that one extra stitch at the end of each row. Thanks for telling me ALL the details!

[Goddess529]

Thank you so much for this video! I managed to teach myself the single crochet stitch, but the double crochet stitch seemed like a mystery to me. Couldn't figure it out at all. You explained things very clearly and the camera view was fantastic! :) I can't thank you enough for your help. I'm going to practice, practice, practice. :)

[bryancute16]

hello..thanks..im just 1st year highschool and learned from your lessons..philippines...  :)

[dyoung617]

thank you! so helpful and really easy to understand.

[chezz1a]

thanks!

[Joannawysiwyg]

Great demonstration and camera work, thank you!

[hervaj3]

thanks. best video on double crochet stitch!!

[Pogopogo33]

That was great! I've been perusing youtube for hours trying to find good beginners steps before I found this. This video and your single stitch were the most helpful. The quality of the video and sound are fantastic! Please make more!

[neonpistols77]

SPANKS!!!! very helpful.

[umphalump]

wow. tons of videos later....I GOT IT! thanks so much.

[jenn86]

huge help for a newbie to crochet, your work is very easy to follow. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TEACHER!!!

THANK UU!

[Mavizz]

THANK YOU!

[cristy2410]

I am a newbie to crochet (even though I'm half Italian, lol, it took me several decades to get started and I love it!), and I want to thank you for your tutorials. Your work is wonderful and so easy to follow. There's only a few times when I get lost but then again, I'm just getting started in this craft :) Once again thank you, your work is very easy to follow and you place the camera perfectly!!

[darcyeyre]

I feel so much better about embarking on my crocheting adventure after watching your videos. They are so perfectly clear. You are a great teacher!! Thanks!!

[retromummy]

thank you ! huge help for what I was trying to learn!!!!!

Corrie:)

[caelestisred]

"Don't forget to wrap it before you put it in" That's just always sound advice! LOL sorry ;)

Seriously though, these videos are all so well done. I usually find myself having to go back and rewatch parts of knitting videos, but yours are so clear I don't need to. You are a fabulous teacher! And now I finally feel confident enough to attempt crochet. :)

[MissJessieBeth]

I just learned how to actualy crochet today,but Im trying to make a scarf.

Its not quite long enough yet,but Im getting there!!!

Lol,crocheting is surprisingly fun.

[sylkenbird]

hmmm... i bought a book on how to crochet, and it didnt mention single crochet but in passing, then i wanted to know what it was, so looked on the internet, and it seems that the book was doing single crochet and calling it double, and doing double crochet and calling it treble...

i think maybe i will demand a refund for that book... unless it is something to do with countries- i bought it in australia

[looneylinvia]

I had that same problem!

It was so confusing at first. I also bought my book in Australia. So it must be something to do with our way of crocheting.

[mommaslitelgurl]

every single one of you crochet videos are so helpful...i just started today and i already have learned the chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and going! thank you so much!! these videos made my life so much easier

[TrueThought]

I was not taught about the 3 chains for double stitch. Thank You!!! I was so confused why my counts were off!

[lizziegolden]

Very clear, thank you!

[greer911]

Thank you so much, it was so simple to follow

[o00hhhlalaa]

Thank you ! please put up more videos of what you know!

[afkun]

My grandma taught me to crochet before I could write, but I've blanked on anything besides a chain stitch. Your videos are so incredibly clear and helpful, thank you for these! (and subscribed!)

[sadikaeleer]

This was *extremely* helpful. Thank you!

[snodoggy]

Great tutorial, Thanks for putting this up! I will look at your others, looking for double crochet together demo, maybe you will have it.

[36dewdrops]

oh my gosh, thank you for saving me from clipart drawing tutorial purgatory!!! this is so much simpler than i would have previously suspected.

[bats4us]

Thank you, thank you , thank you. You are a great teacher, showing each step along the way. I watched other crochet videos but they were not nearly as clear and easy to understand as yours. Thank you again.

[rachellelaine]

thank you so much for this video!it helped me do our new lesson on monday!!

[Chaosisnana]

WOW!

^^ I have a question:

I've been looking at all these tutorials online, and I have to keep going back to an abbreviations page for one term, but it's not on there.

What do they mean when they say "round"?

And I'm subscribing to you. lol This is perhaps the easiest way for me to learn if I see pictures or hear it while I'm being taught. Thank you for this video!

[theknitwitch]

A "round" is what you work on circular needles. If you are working flat knitting (with straight needles) it is called a row. Hope that helps!!

[jknsm]

This was the first stitch I was ever taught - but I never realized you skipped the first few on the beginning.

Thank you for sharing this! It is so wonderful to be able to see someone doing stitches as I am trying to learn the names of them all!

[Jones499]

Your vids are the best - so clear and easy to understand! Thanks!

[FormaldehydeKtn]

I've been crocheting for years, but i've never been able to hold it "right"... which in turn means i also crochet different... Is there any easy way to "learn" how to hold it the correct way?

[krishler]

thanks so much!

[w00ts0rbet]

Just what I need to start off crocheting properly! Thank you!

[KaddieX]

This was very comprehensible and even more helpful. *subscribes* I can't even begin to tell you how much of an assistance your videos have been. Thank youuu!

[tinkerbellcute1]

Thank you SOOO much for the video! I've been searching everywhere for good, clear crochet instructions on the wed forEVER and I finally thought of youtube which brought me to your vid, and it was PERFECT! Thanks again!

[lovinmelia]

i loved it, clear and easy! make more!! perfect for beginners or advanced beginners

[ishkamina]

amazing, thank you!

[QueenSabe]

I love this video! And sorry about my sense of humour but I couldn't help giggling at 1:36 when you said, "Don't forget to wrap it first before you put it in". hahahah great advice for anyone, let alone first time crocheters :D

[CrochetingCraZy]

this is a great video! make more!

[richeau]

the easiest crochet video i've found on here, thank you so much!

[JaydeeFaire]

Thank you so much for this video-- it was very clear and informative, and easy to follow (and your fingers didn't get all in the way like the other videos I've seen). I'm going to check out your other videos!

[afarm]

[Junglegal88]
