Linked Double Crochet Stitch
- Starting Chain: Begin with a foundation chain of any number of stitches.
- First Stitch Setup: To start the first linked double crochet (ldc) of the row, yarn over and insert your hook into the 2nd chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook). This step links the stitches at the base.
- Complete the First Stitch: Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain on the hook). Yarn over again and pull through the remaining 2 loops. This completes your first ldc.
- Subsequent Stitches: For the next and all following ldc stitches, instead of yarning over to start the stitch, insert your hook into the horizontal bar of the previous ldc (it's located just below the top two loops of the stitch). Yarn over and pull up a loop. Then, insert your hook into the next stitch of the foundation chain (or the next stitch of the previous row in subsequent rows), yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Complete the Stitch: Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain on the hook). Yarn over again and pull through the remaining 2 loops. This completes your linked double crochet stitch.
- Continue Across: Repeat step 4 and 5 across the row.
- Turning: At the end of the row, chain 2 (this counts as the first ldc of the next row) and turn your work.
- Starting Next Row: Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook (the bottom chain of the turning chain), yarn over and pull up a loop. Then, insert your hook into the first stitch of the row, yarn over and pull up a loop, and complete the stitch as before.
- Repeat: Continue with the linked double crochet stitches as established, working into the horizontal bars of the previous stitches and the next stitch on the row.
Linked Treble Crochet
Chain any number of chains.
- Insert the hook into the 2nd ch from the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop.
- Insert the hook into the 3rd ch from the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook),
- Insert the hook into the 4th ch from the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on the hook).
- Yarn over and pull through 2 loops 3 times to complete the beginning ltc
- Insert the hook into the top horizontal bar of the previous stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, insert hook into the next horizontal bar (below the first), yarn over pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook)
- Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (4 loops on the hook)
- Yarn over, pull through 2 loops 3 times to complete the stitch.
- The skirt is crocheted vertically. First you will make 2 panels, then attach the pockets to both panels, sew the sides of the skirt, and at the end add the button holes.
- The wrong side corresponds to odd-numbered rows, while the right side aligns with even-numbered rows.
- I recommend you watch my YouTube tutorial, if there are any uncertainties.
