Double Crochet

The double crochet is another of the six basic stitches. It is commonly found in many patterns as well as other stitch combinations. As a taller stitch, visible gaps are seen between the stitches. The stitch creates a more open fabric that drapes well. Because of its height, you can make great progress with a project. This is by far, the most common or popular stitch of the basic stitches.
