Double Crochet Stitch Tutorial – Standing dc and Turning Chain dc – Right-handed

Описание: Learn how to crochet the "double crochet stitch" in rows! I'll show how to count dc stitches and demonstrate four different methods you can use to make the very first stitch in a row of double crochets and compare examples of each.

Method 1 – Make a turning chain, but the turning chain does NOT count as the first stitch (good for solid fabrics)
Method 2 – Make a turning chain, and the turning chain IS the first stitch (good for openwork patterns)
Method 3 – Standing stitch using a tall loop (dc with straight edges)
Method 4 – Standing stitch using stacked single crochets (dc with straight edges)
