The photos below show an example of a double treble crochet stitch
being worked into a base chain.
 |
Step 1: Yarn over hook (wrap yarn from back
to front around the hook) three times just below hook opening.
|
 |
Step 2: Keeping working yarn behind work, insert
hook into the stitch indicated by the instruction. Yarn over to create a
loop on the hook (wrap yarn around hook from back to front into hook
opening). Pull loop on hook through so
that there are now 5 loops on the hook. TIP:
If working in a chain, it is helpful to keep tension on the chain with thumb
and forefinger of your hand opposite the hook so that the hook slides
through easily.
|
 |
Step 3: Bring yarn over hook again, from
back to front so that yarn engages in hook opening. |
 |
Step 4: Draw loop through two of the loops
on the hook so that 4 loops remain on the hook and yarn over again.
TIP: Twist hook so that hook opening faces downwards when
drawing through the two loops on the hook. |
 |
Step 5: Draw loop through two of the loops on
the hook so that 3
loops remain on the hook. Yarn over again.
|
 |
Step 6: Draw loop through two of the loops on the
hook so that 2 loops remain on the hook. Yarn over again. |
 |
Step 7: Draw loop through the remaining 2 loops on
the hook. The double treble stitch is now complete. |
