Foundation Double Crochet
- Ch 2
- Yarn over and insert your hook into the first chain
- Yarn over and draw up a loop
- Yarn over and draw yarn through the first loop on your hook
- Yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook
- Yarn over and pull through the last two loops on your hook
- Yarn over and insert your hook under both loops of the base of the previous stitch (the chain you created earlier)
- Yarn over and pull up a loop
- Yarn over and pull through 1 (like before), yarn over, and pull through 2 twice (as before)
Keep repeating the last three steps to grow your foundation double crochet row
- Ch 2 doesn't count as a stitch unless it says otherwise.
- When you are making fptc you always work in the row of dcs below the row of scs, here and across.
- Use a 4 mm hook unless it says otherwise.
- The sweater is made of 2 panels (front and back), and sleeves.
- It's crocheted from bottom to top.
- First you will make the back and front panel and then the sleeves. You will sew the front panel and the back panel together on shoulders, attach the sleeves, sew the sleeves and body sides together, crochet the ribbing around the waist and finish with a round of slsts around the neck hole.
- If you want the sweater to be longer, just add rows on the front and back panel. The same you can do with the sleeves, if you want them longer.
