 Hi everyone, welcome to Start a Skull Crochet. This is Tasha, so today I'm gonna teach you guys how to do a foundation-linked double crochet. It's just similar to a double crochet foundation chain, like a foundation double crochet, except for this is the linked version. So today I'm using an eye hook, 5.5 millimeter and a more yarn. I'm going to go ahead and create a slipknot and then for the foundation-linked double crochet I'm going to chain three. Actually I'm going to chain four. That's right. And so we're going to count down one, two, three, four. There's four chains total. For this stitch we're going to work into the second chain from the hook and you're just going to insert your hook, yarn over and pull up. Then we're going to go back down to the very first chain, insert your hook, yarn over and pull up a loop, chain one, grab onto that, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over and pull through two more. So here's where a linked double crochet magic happens. So you see this bar right here, that one. We're going to work into that bar, yarn over and pull up a loop through it and then you're going to insert your hook into the bottom two chains, yarn over and pull up the loop. Then you're going to chain one, grab onto those, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over and pull through two. And then we're going to do the same thing working through this front bar, yarn over, pull up a loop, insert your hook into the bottom two chains, yarn over, pull up a loop, chain one, grab onto those little guys down there, yarn over, pull through two and two until you complete your double crochet. So a linked double crochet is just slightly different from a regular double crochet and this is working an actual foundation linked double crochet row. So this will have that same stretch that you get when you do a foundation double crochet or single crochet row. There we go. And this is what a linked double crochet looks like in the foundation row. And the back side has a different kind of look to it, but they're both really great and you see it's stretchy. All right, thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy this tutorial. Please subscribe.
