Crochet a double chain
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

I personally hate to start crocheting in rows with a chain base, especially when i have to crochet in the two sides of the chain (like in the case of irish leaves), and i found this tecnique to be very useful to give speed to my projects...so, let's start!

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Crochet 2 chains, insert the hook only into the back loop of the first chain...

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    ... yarn over, pull out a loop, yarn over and pull out throught the two loops.
    We have crocheted a single crochet :)


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    To continue the double chain, we have to insert the hook...well, i don't know if there is a specific name...where you see the arrow :)

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Then yarn over, pull out a loop, yarn over and pull out throught the 2 loops.

    Repeat this step till the desired lenght, you can count the chains on the right.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Once achieved the desired lenght, crochet one/two/three chains depending on the stitch you'll go to use, and work on the left side of the double chain, in the holes you see near the chain.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    All done!
    You now can picot and work in the other side inserting the hook directly in the holes, or you can turn your work and leave a chained border easy to be crocheted or to be left as it is. :)
