October 17, 2004 -- Double Crochet Foundation

Did a little knitting and when I got sick of that I started playing around with scrap yarn again and taught myself the double crochet foundation. It's different than just a chain foundation because it's stretchy and sproingy. I got it out of a crochet sock book. I'm not ready to try crochet socks but I figured I'd practice the start.

Double Crochet Foundation:

1. Chain 3. 

2. YO, insert hook in 3rd ch from hook. 

3. YO, pull yarn through 1 loop on hook. 

4. YO, pull yarn through 2 loops on hook. 

5. YO, pull yarn through last 2 loops on hook. 

6. YO, insert hook through front loop and back hump of the chain. Repeat from Step 2 on down until desired length.
