Double Crochet

Double Crochet: Twice as tall as a single crochet

Yarn over and insert hook in the 4th chain from hook
Catch yarn and draw a loop through the chain (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over hook  and draw through 2 loops
Yarn over and draw through the last 2 loops

Make 1 double crochet across the row
After last stitch, chain 3 and turn
Yarn over, insert hook in 2nd stitch to start next row.

 *Turning chains*
At the beginning of each row there is a certain number of chains needed to bring your work up to level.
The chain usually replaces the first stitch in each row.
When instructions place the turning chain at the end of a row,
your should turn work right to left to avoid twisting the chain,
after turning, insert hook in the sttich that is spacific to your pattern
