Description
Double crochet is a fundamental stitch in US terminology that adds height to crochet fabric, commonly used in patterns like granny squares.
Detailed explanation
In US crochet terms, the double crochet is a versatile stitch roughly twice the height of a single crochet, creating a flexible fabric with good drape. It serves as the building block for many classic patterns, including granny squares and filet crochet. Always verify the pattern origin; in UK terminology, ‘dc’ refers to the stitch known as single crochet in the US.
