 Hi everyone, welcome to Start a School Crochet. This is Tasha and this is going to be a short tutorial on how to do a foundation double crochet. And today I'm using a mori yarn and an eye hook which is a 5.5 millimeter. Alright so let's get started and I'll tell you a little bit about foundation, foundation rows. First let's do a magic, I mean not a magic, no magic circle, just a slip knot. And then you're going to go ahead and chain three. There's your chain three. And then for this stitch you're going to yarn over first and then you're going to work back into the very first chain, yarn over and pull up a loop. And then you're going to chain one. And just like the single crochet you're going to hold on to these little stitches down there, the little, that's going to be the bottom of your chain. Then you complete your double crochet as if nothing else is going on. And so what you do here again, yarn over, sorry for the wobbly table, insert your hook into those bottom two stitches, yarn over, pull up a loop, chain one and then complete your double crochet. So we've done actually a few stitches there. And you keep working like that and sometimes like if you don't, if you let loose of these, it's a little hard to find them again. There they are, chain one and then double crochet complete by yarning over and pulling through two loops each time. Chain one, grab them, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through two. And you'll see we've created, depending on whether or not you count your first foundation, these are actually the chains. So this is your first stitch, one, two, three, four. And what's great about these foundation stitches is they're very stretchy and that's what makes them so great for working garments and other things that you need stretch on the bottom row. Because sometimes when you work just a chain, you'll notice that it kind of creates, unless you work it very loose, it kind of makes your stuff curl a little bit like that. So anyway, that's it for these foundation double crochet, I'm sorry, foundation double crochet, which is abbreviated as FDC. And if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. And the next video is going to be a foundation half double crochet. All right, happy crocheting.
