Double Crochet
The double stitch is another widely used stitch in crochet. (British patterns call this stitch "triple" and "single stitch double").
*yo (1), Insert the hook in a chain, yo, draw though a loop (2), yo, draw though two loops, yo, draw through the 2 loops that now you have on hook (3):*
Repeat on all the chains of your starting chain.
The arrow in the pictures shows the direction of the hook to draw a loop. On subsequent rows, you will work the stitch on another stitches, for example, you will have to insert the hook in the next stitch of previous row, and repeat the operations included between the asterisks (* and *) above:
Half Double Stitch
The Half Double Stitch is done just like the Double Stitch except instead of drawing through two stitches at a time, the yarn is drawn through all three stitches on the hook at one time. Makes a shorter stitch than the double stitch.
