G. Basic Techniques 3: The Double Crochet
E. Basic Techniques 1: Chain Stitch
Similar to the single crochet, the double crochet is another technique for developing your crochet work.
The pattern created in the ‘double crochet’ is different to that of the single crochet. It is not as tightly
knitted. As such, the work progresses quicker. It is ideal for making larger areas of crocheting such as a
Chain stitches make up the foundation of most crocheting. If you are new to the craft it may take a while
before you are comfortable with the basic techniques. Be patient and practice by creating a continuous
chain. You will learn how to adjust the tension when required to make a neat row of stitches.

1. A popular way to make large crocheted objects is to produce small shapes and then join them together. This makes the
project easier to work on. You can then carry on with your hobby whenever you want…on the bus, whilst watching TV,
anywhere, anytime! Once you have finished this kit and learned the basic techniques, you should be skilled enough to
crochet almost any shape you want. These can then be joined to make whatever you like. Use your imagination, the fun is
endless. Once acquired you will have the skill for life!
2. The instructions below are structured as BASIC TECHNIQUES (PINK bordered diagrams), MAKING SHAPES (Green
bordered diagrams) and APPLICATIONS (Orange bordered diagrams). Skill levels are structured from simple to difficult too.
Follow them in sequence. Do not proceed to the next techniques/sections if you are not fully comfortable with the existing
ones. Practice them well before you go on and you will find it much easier to understand the instructions in the next
techniques/sections. If you are new to crocheting, a bit of patience is required. You may also ask for a parent's assistance
if required.
3. Some steps of the basic techniques are skipped in advanced sections. You may need to refer back to a previous section
for details. Each basic technique is represented by a symbol which is illustrated just next to the section title. When you
proceed to the advanced sections, you will see at the beginning of each section there is a CROCHET PLAN that consists of
those technique symbols. The plan presents an overall picture of the crochet work to be introduced. You should refer to the
plan when you are proceeding with your crochet work. This will allow you to see the overall picture of how your crochet
work should look.
4. While you are still practising the techniques, you may wish to re-do some parts or the whole piece. Simply pull apart
the stitches and the crochet work will unravel loop by loop.
5. Some parts of the wool will be highlighted in a different colour to help illustrate the process.
6. For left handed users, a set of reversed illustrations are provided. Please refer back to this as you follow the procedures
below.
D. Holding the Yarn and the Crochet Hook
Hold the yarn with your left hand as in the diagram. Hold the crochet hook in your right hand, the same way you would hold
a pen. (Reverse for left handed users)

Form a loop as in the diagram and
pull through the wool to make a

Put the crochet hook around the
yarn, (seen as section A, marked
pink in the illustration). Wrap this
section of yarn over the hook.
This will be called a ‘yarn over’ in
the following instructions.

Pull section A through the loop of
the slip knot.
Hold a section of the wool in your
left hand as illustrated.

A chain stitch is made and it will

You should have made a ‘single
crochet’ on the third row. Note
that the technique in making
another single crochet is the
same. The difference is that on
the second row you insert the
crochet hook through the loop on
the first row chain stitch and from
the third row onwards, you insert
it through the hole in between the
rows instead of the loop.
Continue to ‘single crochet’ the
third row until you reach the start
of the second row. Remember to
make a ‘turning chain’ before
advancing to the next row.
Beginners often tend to overlook
this. If this happens you will
notice that your crochet work will
become narrower as you progress.
Your shape will look more like a
trapezoid than a regular square.
When you have made the final
‘single crochet’ of the square pull
the wool to enlarge the loop, (as
shown in the diagram). Use
scissors to cut the top of the loop
and detach the ball of wool.
A ‘double crochet’ has been
formed and it should look like this.
Insert your crochet hook back
into the 8th loop. Repeat steps
G3-G13 to make another ‘double
crochet’.
Continue to ‘double crochet’ until
the second row meets the start of
the first row.

1. A popular way to make large crocheted objects is to produce small shapes and then join them together. This makes the
project easier to work on. You can then carry on with your hobby whenever you want…on the bus, whilst watching TV,
anywhere, anytime! Once you have finished this kit and learned the basic techniques, you should be skilled enough to
crochet almost any shape you want. These can then be joined to make whatever you like. Use your imagination, the fun is
endless. Once acquired you will have the skill for life!
2. The instructions below are structured as BASIC TECHNIQUES (PINK bordered diagrams), MAKING SHAPES (Green
bordered diagrams) and APPLICATIONS (Orange bordered diagrams). Skill levels are structured from simple to difficult too.
Follow them in sequence. Do not proceed to the next techniques/sections if you are not fully comfortable with the existing
ones. Practice them well before you go on and you will find it much easier to understand the instructions in the next
techniques/sections. If you are new to crocheting, a bit of patience is required. You may also ask for a parent's assistance
if required.
3. Some steps of the basic techniques are skipped in advanced sections. You may need to refer back to a previous section
for details. Each basic technique is represented by a symbol which is illustrated just next to the section title. When you
proceed to the advanced sections, you will see at the beginning of each section there is a CROCHET PLAN that consists of
those technique symbols. The plan presents an overall picture of the crochet work to be introduced. You should refer to the
plan when you are proceeding with your crochet work. This will allow you to see the overall picture of how your crochet
work should look.
4. While you are still practising the techniques, you may wish to re-do some parts or the whole piece. Simply pull apart
the stitches and the crochet work will unravel loop by loop.
5. Some parts of the wool will be highlighted in a different colour to help illustrate the process.
6. For left handed users, a set of reversed illustrations are provided. Please refer back to this as you follow the procedures
below.
D. Holding the Yarn and the Crochet Hook
Hold the yarn with your left hand as in the diagram. Hold the crochet hook in your right hand, the same way you would hold
a pen. (Reverse for left handed users)

Form a loop as in the diagram and

You should have made a ‘single

that the technique in making
another single crochet is the
same. The difference is that on
the second row you insert the
crochet hook through the loop on
the first row chain stitch and from
the third row onwards, you insert
it through the hole in between the
rows instead of the loop.
Continue to ‘single crochet’ the
third row until you reach the start
of the second row. Remember to
make a ‘turning chain’ before
advancing to the next row.
Beginners often tend to overlook
this. If this happens you will
notice that your crochet work will
become narrower as you progress.
Your shape will look more like a
trapezoid than a regular square.
When you have made the final
‘single crochet’ of the square pull
the wool to enlarge the loop, (as
shown in the diagram). Use
scissors to cut the top of the loop
and detach the ball of wool.
A ‘double crochet’ has been
formed and it should look like this.
Insert your crochet hook back
into the 8th loop. Repeat steps
G3-G13 to make another ‘double
crochet’.
Continue to ‘double crochet’ until
the second row meets the start of

G. Basic Techniques 3: The Double Crochet
E. Basic Techniques 1: Chain Stitch
Similar to the single crochet, the double crochet is another technique for developing your crochet work.
The pattern created in the ‘double crochet’ is different to that of the single crochet. It is not as tightly
knitted. As such, the work progresses quicker. It is ideal for making larger areas of crocheting such as a
Chain stitches make up the foundation of most crocheting. If you are new to the craft it may take a while
before you are comfortable with the basic techniques. Be patient and practice by creating a continuous
chain. You will learn how to adjust the tension when required to make a neat row of stitches.
