LESSON 4: DOUBLE CROCHET.

US short form = dc.

Please note that the turning chain here is 2 ch.
The reason is that a dc is twice as "tall" as an sc or hdc.

Next...

good afternoon class,

i made 3 rows of dc.

i also wanted to ask which chain among the 2 turning chains made will i put my needle whe i want to make my last dc.

i dont know if you understand my question.

@Lumiadee.
Nice work you've got there. Well done!
Actually, you do not need to crochet into the 2ch turning chain at all.

The turning ch just provides a kind of edge wall for your work.

You should crochet under the "chain - like" tops that form on top of each row. And they should be the same number for each row (in this case 12).

So you'll see that your first "chain - like" top at the starting of the dc row is between the 2ch and your first dc.

"Chain-like" top between 2ch turning ch and 1st dc.

12 "Chain-like " top of work.

More....
@Lumiadee. Is it clearer now?

Ynnk:
"Chain-like" top between 2ch turning ch and 1st dc.

ok tanx i now get it better,
i have tried another row of dc and it
came out better cos i noticed the edge
at the turning poiint of the last two i did
were not forming a straight line.


tanx i'm enjoying the class

Many thanks. And you are very much welcome.
Crocheters are really not common at all. I learnt basic crocheting from my mum when I was a kid. And then I had to teach myself a whole lot of other things.

Really? Wow! I'll love to be like u some day, I'm in love with it already. Although I av a proble with my tab, and the smaller phone I'm using isn't doing justice to the pictures u sent, so I'm finding it hard to follow

. I'm so sorry that you are having some difficulty. I try to compress the pictures a bit so that they can be viewed on all devices.
I could email the pictures to you in pdf format so that you can print them out in a business center. Or if you have a pdf reader on your device, you should be able to download and read from there.

Please PM me.

Hi Lumiadee, thanks a lot for appreciating my work.
The next lesson will be up tomorrow- and it is the cap making class. I 'm just allowing some spacing between the lessons so that everyone can catch up.

Okay Class, I guess there is a bit of excitement, so I'm going to put up some lesson preview.

Here:

Yes. Just round her head (at the widest part). So the tape will come round to just about 1 inch above the eyebrows.
Are you sure you measured 17cm? I think it should be 17 inches. The last time I measured a 2 year old, the measurement was 18 inches.

Something like this:

Something like this:

okay, i now understand better. so i measured her head again and its 17 inches
