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

Описание: Learn how to crochet the "double crochet stitch" in rows, left-handed view! 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)
